Once you graduate from Ada High School, you don't know where in the world life will take you.

For Joe Carey (right), life took him to Mansfield where he taught for 31 years then, in "retirement," he joined the Peace Corps where he taught in the Russia Far East for two years, then to Lithuania where he taught four summers, then to Kazakhstan where he taught a year.

Joe, Class of 1959, was inducted into the AHS Hall of Honors during the annual alumni association dinner held at the school on Saturday evening.

At left is Kurt Klingler, association president, who reported 120 people attended the dinner.
