I know all the retirees from the American Can Corporation are doing this well. Triangle bought out American Can and combined operations with National Can in the mid 80s and formed the American National Can Corporation in Chicago. Oops, I forgot the company cancelled its promice of life-time benefits with the help of Federal Judge Schultz, a Bush appointee.

Most of the folks at American Can 083 in St. Louis went to Silgan Containers whom also modified its "pension" insurance.
