I recently attended the Associated Wire Rope Fabricators (AWRF) semi-annual General Meeting in Savannah, Georgia. It was a pleasure meeting many friends and colleagues, as well as numerous Peck & Hale Suppliers and Customers.

There were many interesting technical sessions, including one on the fascinating design and fabrication of the new Tappan Zee Bridge in New York and one on crane lifting training using very small scale model parts to drive home key issues with proper lifting. All of the sessions remind us of the critical nature of the many products we design, manufacture, and sell.

As usual, there was great entertainment at the Banquet on one of the final nights of the meeting. We look forward to participating in the General Meeting and Product Information Exhibit in October in Arizona!
