Actually, that grog change took place over two years ago, before
Miller Ceramics sold to Laguna. Citing the same issues proposed by
Frank Tucker, Mr. Miller switched from Maryland Refractories to
Harbison Walker, a competitor of Christy located "next door".
Laguna's eastern customers will remember the ascicular particle shape
of the Harbison Walker (and Christy Minerals) that makes "fresh grog" feel cours
