Viking Range Names Building For Durden

Viking Range said this week that it has renamed a building after Liston P. Durden, the company's former senior vice president of marketing who passed away last year.

The building, in Greenwood, Miss., is now known as the Liston P. Durden Training Center.

“Training was near and dear to Liston’s heart and was a big part of his career in the major appliance industry,” Fred Carl, President and CEO of Viking Range Corporation, said as part of the announcement. “Nothing could be more appropriate than to honor one of the appliance industry’s most respected leaders in such a way.”
