So, you think you know Ada. The answer to "Society" is below. It's part of the message on the Ada school wall reading: Children are the tomorrow of society.
Ohio Northern 1983 mechanical engineering alum Bob Peterson helped Pixar received its first Emmy Award on Night 4 of the remote Creative Arts awards last week.

Accepting the award in pre-taped speeches were Peterson and producer Mark Nielsen.
Peterson is a voice actor known for voicing Roz, Dug, and Mr. Ray. He is an animator, screenwriter, storyboard supervisor, director and voice actor. Hired at Pixar 1994 as an animator for commercials, he later became an animator on Toy Story.

A unique-to-Ada art work is now available as a copy, thanks to the wood crafting of Dr. Les Thede.
“Sunburst over Northern,” a wooden sculpture, was originally dedicated on March 22, 2019, in the atrium of the ONU Dicke College of Business Administration.
He created the wooden sculpture as a memorial to his wife, Diane. She retired as an administrative assistant at ONU after working there 26 years. She was a member of the ONU Women’s Book Club and Bridge Club. She died May 1, 2018.
The retired ONU professor has created smaller versions of the art work, which are now available at Gallery for the Arts, 115 S. Main St., Ada.
