Nowlin Retires After 32 Years At Escambia Grain

After 32 years, Escambia Grain Corporation Manager Ed Nowlin is retiring. He was honored at a retirement reception Saturday night in Walnut Hill for his service to the community.

Nowlin was the recipient of the 2009 Community Service Award from the Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department. From the fire department, to the Ernest Ward and Northview ag and FFA programs, to Northwest Escambia Little League ball teams, to many other community organizations, Nowlin was honored for his selfless service to the community.

“He’s the kind of person who would go out of his way to help someone and expect nothing in return,” his biography, as presented Saturday night, stated. “Without his help and influence on the Walnut Hill community, it would most definitely be a different community. His unselfish nature and love for his fellowman has contributed to make this community a better place.”
