Scholarship endowment established to continue Dr. Roger H. Goldberg’s impact at Ohio Northern University
As a professor and administrator, Dr. Roger Goldberg dedicated his career to Ohio Northern University and to ensuring ONU students had the best possible educational experience.
In acknowledgement of his passion for education, Dr. Goldberg’s family has provided initial funding to create a scholarship endowment in his name to honor and extend his commitment to the university’s students.
FROM BLUFFTON ICON - Summer open houses at Schumacher Homestead began last Saturday.
“Are you a ghost?” a little girl once asked Schumacher Homestead volunteer Susie Gratz, who was dressed in the somber black cap, long full dress, and apron worn by women in the Bluffton-Pandora area Swiss Settlement in the mid 1800s.
Gratz assured the youngster that she was real and alive, and could show her how families in the area lived more than 150 years ago.
This summer, Gratz will be one of more than a dozen guides who will give tours at the “Swiss Haus” at 8350 Bixel Road, welcoming visitors from 1-5 p.m. on Saturdays, now through the end of August.
Summer Park play dates will be held on the first and third Mondays of June, July and August at the Jenera Community Park Playground at 9:30 a.m.
According to planners of the events, persons may come when you can and stay as long as you are able. Bring your kids and grandkids of all ages and enjoy time to play outside and enjoy the summer weather.
The kids can play with others, run around and burn off some energy while the moms, grandmas, and caregivers visit.
The park is located just south of the village on state Route 698. More information is at 262-391-7994 or email [email protected].
