MET 012718 DUKE STACK DESANTOS

Tribune-Star/Joseph C. Garza
A part of your family: Marianne and Phil DeSanto stand in front of the decommissioned Duke Energy Wabash River Generating Station on Saturday after the implosion of the station's smokestack. Phil worked at the plant for 37 years and remembers taking photos of the smokestack as it was being built in the early 1980s.
