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.
