NORTH SEWICKLEY TWP. – Township native Dennis Shingleton has spent his adult life serving his country and his community.
The 1965 Riverside High School graduate has served in the Navy, the Army and as a city councilman and mayor pro-tem of Fort Worth, Texas, the 13th largest state in the United States.
Shingleton s journey began when he was attending Duquesne University and got a low number in the draft. I was certain I didn t want to go in the Army.
