On March 2, 2023, employees at the Hazelton Dry Kiln Facility gathered for a luncheon to honor two long term employees. Greg Humberson is retiring after 31 years of service with AWP. Greg started with AWP as a forklift operator and over the years held various supervisory positions. His latest position before retirement was assistant plant manager. Hazelton plant manager Ryan Stemple presented him with the traditional retirement gift of a watch to commemorate his service.
Mr. Stemple said “We appreciate Greg’s long service and a job very well done. He was an asset for us here at Hazelton for 31 years and we wish him well in the years to come.”
Head mechanic for the Hazelton yard Bob Shafer was recognized for his 25-year anniversary with AWP and was presented with the traditional 25th anniversary gift of a shotgun.
“Bob is our head mechanic here at Hazelton Dry Kilns and in recognition of his dependable service we were happy to present him with our traditional 25th anniversary gift of a shotgun”, added plant manager Ryan Stemple.
