I worked for KIEE Knoxville International Energy Exposition which was the corporate name of the 82 worlds fair. I worked in maintenance in HVAC. All but two of the maintenance crew was U.T. employees except for a couple of us. I made $8 an hour just for walking around checking the chillers and walking through the pavilions.

Before the fair most of the property along the creek was the old L&N station and switch yard. When the creek flooded the Electrician and I had to put on rubber boots and go under the area where the robot pickle was and kill power to the Canadian and China pavilions and get out before the flood got us.

Along about late 1984 the House Hansen building which had served as KIEE headquarters burned down
