摘要：	Phil Wilzbacher, the longest serving port director in the Ports of Indiana's 60-year history, is retiring effective April 20.Wilzbacher, 62, is retiring after 19 years of service at the Ports of Indiana-Mount Vernon facility."Nineteen years," he said. "Great memories. What a fantastic ride!"Wilzbacher didn't have a family con-nection to the river. Instead, he grew up on a dairy farm near Fort Branch, Ind. His introduction to the river industry came about through his familiarity with agriculture, however. He worked his way up from a laborer at a grain elevator to eventually managing operations at various grain companies before transitioning into marketing and business development for two different short-line railroads.Along the way, he valued the relation-ships he built, some of which turned into friendships outside of work."I'm a firm believer that the relation-ships you develop over the course of busi-ness lead to more than just doing busi-ness," he said.That proved to be the case when two of the people he met through the grain and railroad industries called him to tell him Ports of Indiana was looking for a di-rector for the port in Mount Vernon. Un-til then, Mount Vernon and Jeffersonville shared a director, but Ports of Indiana had decided each facility needed its own full-time director.
