May 14, 1996: S.C. Johnson Wax & Miller Brewery





Today's first stop was at S.C. Johnson Wax in Racine, Wisconsin.   I'd say this was a top notch tour.  First, we were able to see a very technological manufacturing plant.  The automatic trolleys that brought loads of product were a great way to save money. I was impressed with how well the employees were treated and with their working conditions.    Their efforts with helping the environment and community impressed me.   The Frank Lloyd Wright designs in the corporate office were fantastic.   Although Mr. Wright's chairs were uncomfortable, they did provide better posture for those who needed it.   The dinner at the restaurant was delicious.  We had steak, fries, and cheesecake.  Frank Gambino, Shamsheila, Deyoung, and I sat together.  

Our second stop was at the Miller Brewery in Milwaukee.   We were supposed to have a private tour, but that got changed.   We did have a private discussion in the Miller Inn.   Each of us got 3 large glasses of beer.   I sat with Bart, Deyoung, Suk Kien, Sieuw Ping, Fontrise, and Shamsheila.  The samples were of Miller Light and Red Dog.  

The ride to Neenah, Wisconsin was about 2 1/2 hours.    We stayed at the Valley Inn.   It was gorgeous.   Went swimming with Deyoung and then we went in the exercise room.   Shamsheila came down to exercise, too.
