a future engineer & his dad
We were invited to the Kennecott 60th anniversary open house at the Refinery.
Bill knows this place inside & out and gave us a great tour. He's worked with Kennecott as a contractor for over 13 years. It was nice to finally see all of the things he's talked about over the years and meet everyone. Bill was like a rockstar out there... everyone knew who he was & said nice things like the place couldn't run without him, he can fix anything, and how much he has brought up their efficiency, etc. We were very proud of Bill!

automated machines peel the copper sheets off the anode, and carry it off to be shaped, stacked & bound. ready for shipping.
everyone loved meeting "little Bill" and Noah got to keep a few slugs of copper
we got to dream a little & touch a bar of silver & gold. That gold bar is worth a half million dollars... I think the silver bar was a quarter million. Nice.
