Icon offers a modern version of a familiar story

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, December 24, 2015

The Icon offers viewers a modern version of a familiar story.

In the seventh year in the reign of Obama, legislation passed that all U.S. citizens be counted in the county where their ancestors had settled. This unusual census was when Kasich was governor of Ohio and Jordan was fourth district representative.

Jose from Lebanon, Ohio, with his young housekeeper, Maria, who was nine-month’s pregnant with someone else’s child, and who Jose had intended to marry, drove to Ada in Jose’s 1996 Mercury Cougar. This was because Jose was a great-great-great-grandson of Dr. H.S. Lehr, Ada pioneer and founder of Ohio Northern University.
