We choose to be employed at a high alloy foundry marshalling our collective experiences in welding, metallurgy, non-destructive testing, molding technologies, melting practice, QM/QA/QC activities, and do the other things men and women of metal do. We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because the role of a man and woman of metal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone. We are champions and winners making the difference, specifically enhancing and expanding our mentoring, directing the next generation of foundry persons and the direction of the metal casting industry".JFK stated it better at Rice University, Houston, Texas but this is my credo.
