There’s a story behind every car and this Ada vehicle has lots of stories to tell. It’s Bob Simmons 1966 Mustang GT.

For starters, this car has been in the same family for over 48 years.

The Icon found it on display earlier this month at the Bluffton Lions Club Festival of Wheels.

This Mustang has a two-generation family ownership. It was originally purchased new in 1966 in Upper Sandusky by Bob’s father-in-law, Loren Schoenberger, now 94.

Bob says the car was driven by his mother-in-law from 1966-1995. It was also driven by the Schoenberger’s daughters, Jill and Jan, during their high school years.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of West Central Ohio has received a national Quality Agency Award, recognizing the hard work of agency leadership and staff to provide high-quality programming for area children.

This award, presented annually by Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, recognizes BBBS agencies across the country that serve a minimum of 150 children and achieve certain quality markers in the length and strength of Big/Little match relationships.

Only three of 25 Ohio agencies received the Quality Agency Award.  The others are BBBS of Central Ohio in Columbus and BBBS of Greater Cincinnati.
