A missing peice of Ada history came home last week thanks to Mike Snodgrass (left) and his friend, Richard Lee Curry (right). They returned this long lost sign to Ada on June 26. The sign originally posted at an Ada village entrance was stolen. Mike found it in a muddy river bank in West Virginia, and decided return it to Ada. (Eileen Peterman photo)
