I had the pleasure of attending the most recent meeting of the AFS Texas chapter this last Friday evening in Lufkin. Lufkin has a special place in my heart as I formerly worked at Texas Founcries - Lufkin Citation for twelve years. Two of my dear friends and former coworkers were at the meeting and I got to break bread with them. Charlie Cummings was the melting supervisor and Maren worked in the lab. Maren was always busy with the methylene blue tests for clay content. Charlie could sure make the furnaces and holders sing and get them relined in no time. He was also instrumental in insuring that we had no "wet charges". Nothing like a wet charge to get your attention. Also, Lufkin Texas is home to a brand spanking new metalcasting operation and even though the first heat has not happened yet nor the first pour, Synchro32 is already installed there. This is a forward looking progressive company, just like Synchro32, and they are gearing up for the future.
