The Next John Beagle

John Beagle is my son and I am proud of him.

He scored a near perfect in math on the ACT test. He is a cook at the Red Onion Restaurant, working under Chef Gary Heinz, who was the Chef at the Maisonette, a five star restaurant.

Johnny, as we all call him, played Monroe HS soccer for four years and was top scorer in his division. He has recently taken up golf and expects to beat me this summer. I said no way.

Johnny will go to the Ohio State University this fall. He has been accepted into the Honors program where he will figure out what kind of engineering student he wants to be.

The video is from a speech he gave at the Middletown Community Foundation Awards Banquet in May of 2008. Johnny has been a active member of the MCF for 3 years.

Old AK Steel Headquarters, Middletown

AK Steel Headquarters in Middletown, originally uploaded by John Beagle.

Now that AK Steel has moved its headquarters to West Chester, what will happen to the old headquarters?

Also what will happen to the statue William M. Verity, the founder of Armco, predecessor of AK?
