Biography - Richard Gillenwater

• Hello. My name is Richard Gillenwater.
• You may remember me from Lombard Elementary School or later at Ironton High especially if you took Commercial Courses and were in any of my classes like Shorthand or Bookkeeping.
• Fortunately, the high school curriculum I choose helped me to begin my working career with the Ironton Tribune. Later, I worked for Allied Chemical at South Point and, when it closed, Alpha Portland Cement Company in Ironton. After Alpha closed, I was hired by US Steel which later became Aristech Chemical at Haverhill, Ohio from where I, ultimately, retired.
• I am a widower. My blessed wife, Margie and I had one beautiful daughter, Rhonda Lynn Holbrook who lives in Marysville, Ohio and works in nearby Hilliard. She is married and has given me four wonderful grandchildren - Derik, Kayla, Ryan and Ashley.
• Although I had lived and worked in Lawrence County all my life, Margie and I decided to relocate closer to our daughter and grandchildren. After my retirement, we moved to Richwood, Ohio where I currently reside.
