Ohio Northern University student Nathan Thobe didn’t experience the January 2005 ice storm that struck the Midwest and Ada.

But, he talked with several village residents who did.  And, he obtained a video of the storm’s aftermath in Ada that was filmed by Jeff Young.

The interviews, video, plus many photos and newspaper clipping became part of Thobe’s final project in an oral history course this spring at ONU.

His project includes interviews with Max Trachsel, Angela Evans, Bob Ward, Tevye Celius, Kathleen DeVault, Paul Logsdon, Tonya Paul, Beth Gray, Jhon Lomax and Chad Hays.

Russ Crawford, the class instructor, shares Thobe’s video with the Icon. Viewers can access interviews and other material by clicking on the menu button at the top left of the page once the video is opened.
