We haven't had "Updates"─it may still be in Battle Creek! I hope it comes back east! Someone said it's going to Iowa! This seems hard to come back to MI if that happens!!!!

Thanks Ken. BTW I met your son at the Durand gathering.

So do they load the coke on Zug Island then shuttle them over to the plant in Dearborn?
