This last Friday the AFS, American Foundry Society, Texas Chapter had a meeting at the Sam Houston Race Park (ponies). I got there early enough to attend the board meeting, even though I am not on the board, and also attended the dinner party.
Outstanding time was had by all and the food was outstanding. Something like eighty people were there - members, spouses, children, etc. It's a family affair. There was an outstanding presentation on refractory materials and fire brick. I learned alot about the process, selections, and usage. Very imformative.
Next up will be the AFS Texas chapter meeting in Lufkin Texas on Friday February 25th at Ralph & Kacoo's Seafood restaurant. See AFS Texas Event Calendar for more details.
Here is a picture of General Sam Houston, Hero of the Texas Revolution and the Republic of Texas's first President. This statue was in front of a steak house near the pony track.
And here are a few pictures from the meeting. Until next time, see you on down the road in Lufkin!
