I grew up south of Ft. Wood and went to school in Bloodland for 6 years and then finished at Plato.
They had a decent building with a little store and restaurant.
It all got wiped out in a flood in 2016 I believe.

Re: I'm throwing a party, and you're invited
I never had anything to do with TAG, my last time at Rawlings was around 83. That was my last factory job. Finished my accounting degree with Drury in 85. 87 I started working for a small part of USDA in Memphis, TNCranny wrote: ↑15 Aug 2025 21:39 pmStan Morrison was running the TAG plant in Licking when I tried to help.

Probably not many but I do know for family funerals some have stayed there. Then there's the one nighters hoping their spouse's don't find them. When it first opened (probably mid 70s) they a lot of business.

Re: I'm throwing a party, and you're invited
Sure things have gotten stale and disappointing over the last number of years. Totally acknowledge that. But when an employee has been on board for 30 years, some of his successes should also be recognized. Sorry if you’re too caught up in your hate to recognize that.ramfandan wrote: ↑16 Aug 2025 10:39 amDeWitts, Girsch, Brad, Chip , Oli , and FredbirdAbsolut wrote: ↑16 Aug 2025 09:49 amHow about you throw a proMo party and see who comes.Cranny wrote: ↑15 Aug 2025 08:42 amSorry, dawg.
