Mr. Roger L. Eggena
65 Warren Street
Charleston, SC 29403

Dear Roger:

     This letter is to serve as a formal supplement to Kewaunee's employment
offer letter to you dated July 14, 1997.

     Immediately with the start of your employment with Kewaunee, you will be
entitled to three weeks of vacation.  Additional time beyond the agreed upon
three weeks will be in accordance with Kewaunee's fringe benefits available for
exempt employees.

     In regard to job security, if you are terminated from employment from
Kewaunee, other than for cause, the Company will pay separation pay equal to
your base salary, at its then current rate, for up to ten (10) months.  If you
should obtain other employment within the ten month separation pay period, any
salary or benefit from Kewaunee will reduce in like amount.  While you are
receiving the separation pay, you would be permitted to participate in the group
insurance and medical care programs in effect at the time.  After any
termination of employment, the separation payments will not continue the
employment relation and, as such, you will not be eligible to accrue further
pension vesting or to continue to participate in the 401K and 401+ plans.

     During your first year of employment, the Company will guarantee the bonus
amount as outlined in our offer letter to you of July 14.  In addition, if you
are promoted into a position with the Company that qualifies for a greater bonus
percentage, the Company will pay you the greater of the bonus portion for the
time spent in that position.

     If Ron Popiel, the Vice President of Manufacturing, should decide to leave
the Company, you will be the logical internal candidate for that position.  But,
the Company cannot make any commitments or guarantees of this position to you.

     I believe this fully represents our telephone conversation today.


     Should you have any other questions, please let me know.  We look forward
to your acceptance of this position on Monday, July 21, 1997.  Please sign the
original offer letter to you dated July 14, 1997, and return via fax (704-873-
1275) and mail the hard copy to Jim Rossi.

                                 Sincerely,

                                 /s/ William A. Shumaker
