Gregg Sundstrom of Full Moon Washroom Rentals in Coquitlam, B.C., Canada, found a 42-year-old video clip from the documentary movie, Woodstock, and posted it on his company’s website, at http://fullmoonrentals.com/Movie.html. The clip shows a friendly portable sanitation worker demonstrating his service techniques at one of the most famous music special events of the 20th Century.
Sundstrom said he posted the video clip to add a little entertainment to his Web presence. “I thought it was a neat little thing to throw in there,’’ he said of the clip from the historic concert in upstate New York in 1969. Sundstrom said he’s old enough to remember Woodstock.
The documentary filmmakers apparently came across worker Thomas Taggart from the Port-O-San company, as he cleaned a row of restrooms at the concert venue and shot him pumping, washing down and restocking a unit. A quick Internet search recently turned up no evidence that the Port-O-San company still exists or the whereabouts of Taggart.
Taggart, by the way, at one time sued the company that produced the documentary, saying he was unaware he was being interviewed for a movie. The outcome of the case is unclear in limited documentation found on an Internet search.
