Trey Managua’s and Polly Anne Dodgem’s dreams were not the same, but they were compatible.  Trey was unemployed at the age of sixty, the victim of a factory closure; too young to retire, too old to attract an employer.  His dream was to work until he was sixty-six and retire with a comfortable nest egg for his golden years.Polly Anne was an innovator and entrepreneur.  After years of research, she had finally developed a process by which she could regenerate usable cotton fiber from textile scraps.  By regenerating the fiber from scraps, her “black-box” process would easily reduce the use of landfill space used for untold tons of textile waste.  More importantly, her use of regenerated fiber would reduce the number of acres of land required to grow cotton, which in turn reduced the volume of chemicals and amount of water used to make that cotton grow.  Her dream was to make a difference in people’s lives.  She only needed a manufacturing facility and skilled workers to commercialize her process.Trey’s recently shuttered nonwovens factory offered the opportunity for Polly Anne to engage in manufacturing products using her regenerated cotton fiber.  It was a match made in Heaven.Praise the Lord!
