Old Timers Rebuild Power Plant In Korea
Joe Edgard Ball, 78, a retired Michigan engineer, led a band of older workers in Yongwol Korea to rehabilitate a deteriorating power plant during a critical hydroelectric outage. Despite language gaps and wartime-era damage, the team restored output, helping Korea avert a total blackout as a US Army barge and major plants faced repairs.
