OSU residence hall named in memory of Jon T. Busch
An eight-story co-ed residence hall at Ohio State University has been named in memory of Jon T. Busch, brother of Larry Busch of Ada and ONU. Jon was Missing in Action in North Vietnam for many years.
Larry graduated from ONU in 1963 and began the university's computer program shortly after graduation. Fifty-three years later he continues there as grant research analyst in the office of information technology. He and his wife, Joyce, a retired Ada teacher, live southwest of Ada.
Larry's brother, Jon, was deployed for Vietnam in November of 1966. While flying a mission over North Vietnam his plane was shot down and he was taken prisoner of war.
His remains were returned to the United States and identified in 1988.
He was a 1964 graduate of the Ohio State aeronautical engineering program.
The Busch House, located at 2115 N. High, opened this fall. It is home to 480 undergraduates and the John Glenn Civic Leadership Community.
In addition to providing residence hall living for many students, the building features an art studio, four seminar rooms, and an event space.
