Richard's Story

You're probably wondering, 'who is Richard Bowers ?' Do you remember Cort ? Well, that's me. Since high school and college, I've been a working fool. I was the Ice Cream Production Manager for Sani-Dairy in it's heyday. Unfortunately, as it seems with most large companies these days, Sani-Dairy was bought out by Dean Foods and then subsequently closed. From there I moved on to Snyder's of Berlin and served as their Sanitation Manager for several years before accepting the position of Production Manager for Coca Cola. After nearly 11 years of service, that production facility was closed and was reverted to a warehouse operation. I assumed the Warehouse Manager position for a couple of years before downsizing claimed yet that position as well. I'm currently employed by J-Lok. J-Lok manufactures roof support systems for the mining industry;specifically, resin cartridges, which are used to lock in the roof bolts once they've been inserted into the drill holes. The position I hold is that of dispatcher. In recent months, we've shipped our product to the Ukraine, to Poland, to Spain and to our northern...Expand for more
neighbors in Canada. I'm hopeful that this will be my last stop before retirement. Age is finally catching up ! My wife Laurie and I raise, breed and sell AKC registered Yorkshire Terriers. We currently have three breeding females and one little, snot of a stud ( Tucker ;). We've sold seven litters of puppies thus far with many of them going as far away as Baltimore and Columbus. Yorkies can be a handful because they view themselves as larger than life! They've been described as a ' big dog in a little dog's body'. Go figure. I generally keep in touch with Bob Gamble, Bill Gross and Mike Allen. Mike and I enjoy meeting occasionally so that we can appreciate some Penn State home games. Bob , Bill, Bert Toy and our collective better halves, make it a point to rent a nearby cottage once a year to swap old tales and to enjoy one another's company. It's a great time for all and we genuinely enjoy the gathering. I'd truly appreciate hearing from one and all. There's a website that was created especially for Laurel Valley Alumni. You really should check it out. Email me and I'll give you the web address.
