“...That left us with the choice of either backing away from the project or finding someone we could count on to make the material and ship it to us in Fairbanks. I called an old friend, Dave Zillman with Albina Asphalt in Portland, OR. I have worked with Dave on various slurry, microsurfacing and experimental projects since 1975. I knew I could count on him to give an honest opinion as to whether he could make a proprietary material, ship it 2,300 miles to Fairbanks and have it arrive in stable condition. The next day Dave called and said they could do it.”
