Prior to his posi tion at the port, Goodyear was employed 22 years with Kinzua Corporation as an assistant marketing manager and then as marketing manager. Goodyear said that Collins, a 150 year old company, was much like Kinzua Corporation and founders of the two com panies came out of the same area in Pennsylvania. He says that in addition to timber, Col lins also has oil and gas hold ings. The company has operations in Chester, California, and Pennsylvania as well as Ore gon. "It was a tough decision (to accept the position), said Goodyear, "but the opportuni ty was pretty large. The com pany pursued m e." He added that his experience with the port made him a "m ore well rounded individual". Port of Morrow Commis sioner Jerry Healy said that Goodyear's decision to leave will have a real impact on the port and com m ented that Goodyear will be missed. Goodyear has lived in Hepp ner for 23 years. His wife, Carol, grew up at Kinzua and graduated from high school at Fossil. Her father, Allen Nistad, was general manager at Kinzua Corp. until 1982.

"H aving been raised under extrememly difficult cir cumstances and after a period of teenage rebellion, he forgot about his vision, but God didn't," commented the Rever end Van Cleave.
