Hey, my dad (John Pierce) works for the Vulcraft division of Nucor in Brigham City and is only working 2 days per week of production time. He has been employeed there for 25(?) years I think. My parents email is winks@besstek.net. You can email him and just let him know that I gave you his email for the story. He is the kind of guy that would give you some goofy, but valuable quote.
