On February 22, 2023, employees at the Petersburg Dry Kiln Facility gathered for a luncheon and honored several retirees and recognize two other employees’ 25-year anniversaries. Petersburg plant manager Frank Weese said, “Many of these folks retired during the Covid epidemic and we couldn’t gather to honor them, so today was an opportunity to ask them to come back and for us to show our appreciation for their hard work and loyal service. This group of people represent a lot of experience and knowledge…they will be missed but we wish them the best in their retirement.”
Retirees and years of service included:
Roger (Shorty) Maroll 34
Robert Evans 32
Roger Borror 28
Freddie Nelson 28
Jimmy Mitchell 27
Lois Mitchell 26
Nick Judy 18
