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.

Bob McCurdy gave Ada Kiwanis Club members a guided tour of the Pierstorf Pharmacy Museum, located in the College of Pharmacy on the ONU campus on May 31.

The museum was donated by Dr. Clarence H. Pierstorf and Dr. and Mrs. Ervin W. Pierstorf and dedicated on Oct. 13, 1995.

The historical museum is located on the first floor of the Pierstorf Annex on the east side of the college.

Unique to the university and most other colleges of pharmacy in the nation, the museum includes memorabilia that reflects the profession's rich heritage.
