Today's Featured Biography
Gregg Corrow
As part of the group of classmates helping to organize the reunion I have been astonished at the number of classmates we have found to have already retired. I find myself at that crossroads in my career where I am considering early retirement. Having spent over 30 years in the precast concrete manufacturing industry I'm ready for a change...
Subsequent to attending St. Cloud State 1966-1970 along with John MacIntyre, Scott Talbot, Loyd Atwood, Sue Briggs and Karen Marturano to name a few classmates;I enlisted in the US Navy Reserve and served 2 years on a Navy Destroyer the US Edson which was home ported out of Long Beach, CA. Several of our classmates served in the US Navy Reserve including John Mac who I went to "boot camp" with as well as Jim Richel and Mike McAlpine. After completing my active duty in the Navy I returned to the Cretex Companies in Elk River where I had worked summers while attending St. Cloud State along with Dick Erickson, Walt Malmstrom and Leanord Stimmler. I left Cretex in 1978 and went into the trucking business with my folks and brothers Curt & Clint in Rogers, MN.
In 1982 I returned to the precast concrete industry as a production foreman with a company called Gifford-Hill in Houston, Texas. Gifford-Hill was later acquired by Hanson Pipe & Precast which is the largest precast concrete manufacturing company in North America. Over the course of the next 17 years I lived in Houston, Oklahoma City, Dallas and Phoenix before returning to Minnesota in 1999 as Regional President of the Hanson Western Region. Ultimately this region consisted of 16 precast concrete pipe & spancrete factories located in 6 western states with 1,000 employees and generating $150 Million in revenues. I departed Hanson in 2004 shortly after my 56th birthday due to a corporate reorganization. Since then I've worked with Oldcastle Precast as a General Manager in Ramsey, MN.
I have a daughter Sharon who lives in San Antonio and a son Colter who lives in Dallas along with their families. I lost a beloved son Paul in Dallas 10 years ago who is survived by my granddaughter Arianne; I have 5 grandchildren with another on the way!
After 34 years apart, I was reunited with my high school/college sweetheart Sandi Weber approximately 5 years ago and we live very happily in Victoria, MN. Our aged mothers happened to run into each other at the local Elk River Meat Market and conspired to arrange for us to meet. "Life is Good"...and we both look forward to getting reaquainted with everyone at the reunion!
