VIRGIL C. REVISH

After leaving Virginia State College, I taught school

at Peabody Junior High until I joined the United States

Army where I served for 3/5 years after which, because of

my devotion to students and education I taught school in

Fairfax, VA for four years. Later, I worked at Petersburg

Wastewater Treatment Plant, my job was testing water

samples and read meters.

In 2003, I married Katie B. Harris and on July 21,

1989, our son, Pearre Donta Revish was born. Now a

student majoring in psychology and mass communication

at John Tyler Community College, he celebrated a Spring

2012, graduation and is currently enrolled at Virginia State

University.
