AP Green got bought by Harbisson-Walker which got bought by RHI
Refractories which went belly-up, but Harbisson-Walker survived and now
sells stuff in the AP Green packaging, except that the main Mexico,
Missouri operation got shut down and all the old AP Green folks lost
most of their pensions. In Portland, OR, most of the warehouse people
have been their forever and still have a potter-friendly attitude.

Hope this is perfectly clear, also hope I've got this all right,

Roger
