                They produce High Quality Grey and Ductile iron castings for many smaller customers.  They produce a quality product and deliver.  They employ 58 and now have a finishing shop in the Industrial Park, too.  They have over 1000 different patterns.  Originally JFK production was 80% cattle drinking cups – Now this is only 3% of their production.  This Company gave $10,000 to Fr. Wally’s work in Panama.

                              Thanks Bob & Jeff for this interesting program.

Thought for today:

                Dear Lord – You have guided me through rough waters many times.   When I feel and accept Your hand, I know I need not fear.  Amen

 

                The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant – and let the air out of their tires.
