当 Gill Corporation 搬到它在艾尔蒙特的现址时，在该物业北边的 20 英亩土地上有一家工业公司。该建筑物仅占地约 10 英亩，其他 10 英亩与我们的财产相邻，并处于休耕状态。
During the mid-80’s it became a fad for people to grow their own vegetables. As a result, the company that owned the property marked out plots on the vacant property and allowed their employees to cultivate them.
One day I was in my office, a person came running in, and excitedly shouted, “There’s a big snake out in the resin area.” I rushed out of my office and when I arrived at the scene one of our people was pounding on a 6 foot Boa Constrictor with a length of 4×4 wood. The snake was annoyed, but Boas are not very aggressive (unless you are edible). We called the Humane Society and they picked it up and took it away.
It must have been an escaped pet living in the cultivated plots and eating whatever was eating the vegetables. It was an exciting event and to this day, the only snake we’ve had on the property………..that I know of.
在此事件发生后的几个月内，人们对在那里种植任何东西的兴趣开始消退，并在 6 个月内处于休眠状态。
