When Beth Pritchard Brooks, Class of 1978, who lives on Harter Hill in Worthington with husband Rick Brooks, head for Las Vegas, as they are now, it’s not to make the rounds of the casinos. Not they they don’t do that, too.

But for Rick it’s another day at the “office,” which is months-long projects installing and working on conveyor systems in Distribution Centers.

Beth and Rick left Vegas in June to spend the summer in Worthington. Well, Beth did. Rick had a side venture in Columbus for a couple of months.

Rick’s work took him to Arizona last year. Beth joined him in October. They both came to Vegas, Rick’s next project, Feb. 1. Last year, Beth wrote, “I was only home for 4½ months and my husband only 3 weeks.”

Rick grew up in Mannington and is a son of Lester Eugene and Helen Gaylene Brooks.
