Ada's latest news

Hard to give anything Springsteen does five stars when compared to his earlier catalogue of classics, but this is darn close

Letter to You is Bruce Springsteen’s twentieth studio album. It is his first record with the E Street Band since High Hopes in 2014. Bruce Sprinsteen is an American singer and songwriter, and leader of the E Street Band. 

The release of Born to Run in 1975 propelled him to worldwide fame. During his over fifty-year career, Springsteen has been  known for his socially conscious lyrics and high-energy stage presence as “The Boss.” From its title down, Letter to You is a message to diehard Springsteen fans, the sound of an artist fighting hard in difficult times.

Meet Tom Hanks' friend, Wilson, (think the movie Cast Away). You can see Wilson in the Ohio Northern University James Lehr Kennedy Engineering building. This interesting sculpture was created by Jerry Churchill, a 1958 alum, and donated to the university by Sarah Everett and Holly Churchill-Lane.
