Kasie Malcolm and two other workers were hospitalized Tuesday evening after exposure to a gas at Woodland Pulp mill. Multiple notes described Malcolm’s kindness, diligence and love for poker. Despite a grueling school schedule, Malcolm woke up at 5 a.m. every morning for gym workouts before class, Hall said. “Kasie was one of the smartest people in our class,” Hall said. Hall fondly remembered Malcolm’s exceptionally small handwriting, a quality for which his group of close-knit chemical engineering classmates would tease him.
