In a way, Mitt Romney was right. A corporation is people. Let's take a pipe coating mill. Once that lovely pipe is buried, it is forgotten except to those who monitor it for wear. It's the people who make that product you will remember. People like Mike Reeder. Mike, 66, is plant manager for Dura-Bond Industries' new coating mill in Duquesne, PA. The mill opened in November, an expansion necessitated by the Marcellus Shale. Mike is more than a plant manager for the Norris family which owns Dura-Bond. He is the best advocate the industry could ever hope to find to explain natural gas and oil development to the public. With Mike on your side, you don't need $200-an-hour PR people. Mike understands these folks. He is one of them and one of us.
