Phil Compton, Ada, has gone from university professor, to minister, to waiting tables. For him, that’s a good thing.
The Greater Lima United Way recently selected Compton as one of 12 recipients of the 2019 Jefferson Award for Public Service. Talking with Phil, one immediately discovers that public service is in his DNA.
“Helping others is what we’re supposed to do,” said Compton. “I’m a ‘cradle Christian,’ and was raised with the idea that we came to serve.”
Originally a member of the Church of the Brethren, Compton attended Manchester University in Indiana. He met his wife, LaDonna, in graduate school.
From a 1989 photo - The oldest man and woman attending ONU's alumni weekend were Dr. Calvin Jackson of Kenton and Mrs. Jesse Klingler of Ada.
Dr. Jackson received a B.A. in 1927. Mrs. Klingler received an arts certificate in 1914. The honorees received the Willis cane and pitcher. Gov. Willis was an ONU graduate, well-known for his oratory, who was entering the race for U.S. president when he died suddenly.
