The Penn State Alumni Association

What’s been happening:

John J. Bair - I began my college education at Main Campus in 1959, and married Louise Ann Rineer from Rohrerstown, PA, in 1960. I had the opportunity to attend Penn State Capital Campus while working 13 years for RCA in Lancaster, PA., and graduated from PSU's Capital Campus in Harrisburg, PA, in 1974. After graduation, I became employed with the Industrial Sales Division of AMP Incorporated in Harrisburg, PA. In August of 1974, my wife Louise and our 5 children moved to Chagrin Falls, Ohio to represent and service AMP Industrial customer accounts, and to begin a Sales Engineer career with AMP. In 1984, I formed J.J.Bair & Associates, a Manufacturer's Representative Sales Agency, servicing the major Industrial, Medical and Defense OEM accounts in Ohio, Western PA, and Indiana. After 23 years in Northern Ohio, and after all the children graduated from high school and college, Louise and I moved to Columbus, Ohio to better service major accounts developed in Ohio over the many years since leaving our home in Lancaster , PA. I attribute much of my personal and family successes with the excellent education at PENN STATE. We have 2 PSU and 2 Ohio State graduates in our family, which makes for some interesting football games in the Fall.
