David Retterer, his honor, the mayor, now adds "Distinguished Citizen" to his title

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, November 4, 2014

For the 49th year, Ada's town and gown sat down to a great meal, met new residents of the community and honored one person as Distinguished Citizen of the Year.

The event, Nov. 3, held in McIntosh Center, also recognized previous Distinguished Citizens of the Year. But, last night's spotlight shined on David Retterer, Ada's mayor, who received the 2014 "distinquished" honor.

How did you end up living in Indiana?
I moved to Indiana with Thomas and Jordan Hirn after we graduated high school. Honestly it was the best decision I made after high school.
