I attended Denison in '74 through '75, and later worked for Owens-Corning Engineering doing field work in the Newark (affectionately called "Nerk") manufacturing facility. I've mixed with the locals, of all strata, and it is indeed a community that needs to find itself and take pride in itself, from the grass roots up. Your fresh journalistic review might be just what the community needed! Keep up the good work.

The setting, the architecture, and the mystery of non-recovery intrigued me. I am delighted that Denison students are asking the same questions that I have. I would be tremendously interested in the effort to explore the recovery of this area. Certainly, the key is a company that needs/wants a home. Dell was this company for Austin, TX. Shall we look for a sponsor for Newark? Certainly, it will sell itself if only we can find the right person/company to fill it up! I would teach elementary there in a moment! Let me know.
