Owens Corning, Newark, Ohio

For several years we were blessed with an Owens Corning, Newark plant manager named Larry Harrington. One of Larry's first positions during the start of his career was in Newark and transferred back years latter as Plant Manager. During his second time here, I was Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Owens Corning was having a hostile take over attempt by another company.

Larry and his Human Resource manager Ron Celnar was such a help to me while we had a community in turmoil. We met many times during the two month period, planning, working out details of a major layoff etc.

The one saying Larry had that I still use to this day: "I only play golf during the week, because it is too much like work to play golf on the weekends"
