Here I am at the October 28, 2007 game, Steelers vs Bengals. My mission was to keep #38, Fullback Carey Davis drinking Gatorade Electrolyte. In the meantime, I did get to see the game from the coaches perspective.

It was great being with the team this year with their new coach, Mike Tomlin. However, Bill Cowher was more intense and in your face. Also, one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, Kenny Anderson was there as Pittsburgh’s new assistant coach.

Thanks to Head Trainer John Norwig for needing and additional trainer on the field in Cincinnati. In the 8 games that I assisted, the Steelers have won every time. But don’t give me all the credit.

What will become of the George M. Verity Statue?

September 20, 2007 / By John Beagle / In AK Steel, AKS, Armco, George M. Verity, Statue / 1 Comment

Founder of Armco, George Verity Statue, originally uploaded by John Beagle.

He moved ARMCO to Middletown, Ohio which is now AK Steel (AKS), in 1901. The community of Middletown convinced George to locate his steel mill in Middletown from its current location near the Ohio River in Cincinnati.

His statue has been left behind after the company moved its headquarters from Middletown to West Chester, Ohio.

What will become of George’s statue? Is it appropriate to move it to West Chester? Should it be moved to the city building or other city owned park or location?

I asked Alan McCoy, AK Steel spokesperson that very question. I will publish his answer when I hear back from Alan.

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?

Mandalay Bay Pool Area, originally uploaded by John Beagle.

We had fun in the Sun at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Everyday temperatures reached over 100 degrees. Best yet, it was next to the Mandalay Bay Conference Center.

Thanks to my Tech Travel Agent, Jessica, we were able to relax and not worry about my trade show technology like plasma flat screens and full surround sound for our multimedia demonstration. Everything arrived when it was supposed to, it worked and we even had a stand by tech in the event of a problem.

We had fun at the pool everyday.

There is a new disc golf course with 24 ‘holes’ at the Monroe Community park. Disc golf is also known as frisbee golf. The goal is similar to regular golf, take as few shots as possible. The frisbee has to get caught in this contraption to be considered ‘in the hole.’

Bridle Reek of Monroe, Ohio

Bridle Reek of Monroe, Ohio, originally uploaded by John Beagle.

I live in the Bridle Creek community in Monroe, Ohio, a Drees Company Development. Someone, has stolen the “C”. So the sign reads ‘Bridle Reek.’

Very funny! ?

URG, no not really. Ever since I took this photo, the HOA (Homeowners Association) has been on my butt to not publish it. They say a photo like this will cause more vandalism in the community.

I said, leaving the sign this way is a constant reminder and a far greater urge to those who like to do funny things with signs.

After all, it is local news for Monroe, Ohio, a town of approximately 8000. I posted it on my website Main Street Monroe and people started talking about it on “The Voice.”

They concur, so now all the letters are being stored in a my garage untl the new ‘C’ comes in. Anthing to help my HOA.
