A big thank you to Karolyn Puccio who arranged Alcoa Aluminum tour and to Willie Korenak our tour guide. Willie's knowledge and humor were instrumental in making tour informative and pleasant. We appreciate his taking his most of his Saturday to help understand how the Three Oaks and Sandow mines, the Sandow power plant, and the smelting plant operate.
