Currently on counsel at Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott LLC as well as President of Blenko Glass Company since 2003, Mr. Blenko began his career with the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. Recently, Pitt Law sat down with Mr. Blenko and asked him to reflect upon his career.

Mr. Blenko had nothing to do with Blenko Glass Company until just a few years ago. Since taking the helm, changes to management and a strong workforce has put Blenko Glass on the right track. He contributes much of his success to both an engineering and law background. Engineering has helped him stay focused on the facts while law work has showed him how to understand people and their motivations. That is what law is about; being well rounded and ready to deal with anything.

IMPRESSIVE MAN, IMPRESSIVE ARTICLE.
IF EVERYTHING YOU SAY ABOUT HIM IS TRUE. HE SAVED BLENKO FROM CLOSURE.
AS A COLLECTOR I APPRECIATE THIS.
NOW ABOUT THAT STEM WARE! CAN WE ORDER THESE? BEAUITUFL!
IF SO I CAN PRE PAY.
GOOGLED BLENKO SOME TIME AGO IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIGURE OUT THE CHANGES IN MILTON.
EVERY ARTICLE WAS FILLED WITH PRAISE FOR HIM.
BLENKO FAMILY IS MADE UP OF HONORABLE MEN. MEN WHO VALUE FAMILY AND FAMILY HISTORY
OTHERWISE HE WOULD NOT BE IN MILTON.
THANKS TO YOU WALTER BLENKO

Wonderful photo
do you have a copy I can purchase?
Nice article.
We also respect Mr. Walter and feel gratitude to him for coming to the aide of Blenko.
While we questions many actions of the junior management, it is a family owned business and as Glassdoc repeatedly says their call.

On the right track? Ha! Believe me, they will close, it's just a matter of when. I know someone who tried to place a $30K order with them the other month and after 2 months of lack of response gave up. Their booth at the trade shows is also very sad and roundly mocked for looking like a garage sale. The receptionist regularly gives out bad information and is quite rude too. They are all clueless about what it takes to save this business and frankly it seems like they don't care.
Wonderful article. Always good to see a local family being honored.
Mr. Walter et al continue to hold a place of honor in our small world.

Finally made the link work.
Cabell County and all of W.Va. should be aware of this article.
While I dislike Pitt
currently working for Marshall of Huntington
former WVU Med School Grad, strong dislike of UP.
I do appreciate a man who puts his money where his heart is.

He is proud of the management change?
Sad, Sad, Sad comment.
Blenko can not be expected to
run the place day to day.
The workers are skilled and do work hard.
When the other units match the glassworkers the place will
fulfill everyones expectations.

There are only 2 ways of Existence -
Constantly thinking of the individual small centered "I". This makes you think everything else is false except you. Truth is: everything else is auspicious other than "I".
Being in the center of the conscious, every thing is auspiciousness; whether it is wealth, health, death, fame, defamation or happenings.
Everything is auspicious.
Understand everything is auspicious brings tremendous joy and freedom, love and openings in you. Understand everything happening is auspicious makes you feel the center of consciousness is Shiva. Sit and pen down all that has happened in your life that was torture at that time but after a few months you found out what you feel about that incident. Then you will come to understand. At least 10 incidents which can give you this understanding will be available to you. Find out the central trust, you will understand it is auspicious blessings and ultimate truth. This is the prasad of Shivaratri. Make this truth as your life, your experience. Make this feeling center of living. Experience auspiciousness and auspiciousness. Experience Eshvarathwa, ultimate leader quality - Shivathwa - Ultimate auspiciousness in your life. All of you experience Shivathwa in You.
I send this #11 time still not published.
Very appropriate for the greedy collectors and those pure of heart thus all readers of your sweet blog.
Nice fluffy article.
My question is - do you believe he is
happy with this management? If so
then do you believe Glassdoc when she
calls him a genius?
I also would like a copy of the photo
for use with my collection.
Nice article.
Brillant man.
Loyal man to assist his family corporation.
How do you all justify making positive comments about this man, when you consistently denote the failings of his Vice President.
Doesn't being in charge make one responsible ?
Glassdoc my new Blenko customers are under 35 and well educated. If you can convince these fish to buy new glass - perhaps sales will greatly increase.
