Now a student at Lehigh, Erica Kier sees her hometown in a "different light"

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, November 29, 2013

15 minutes with Erica Kier

What year did you graduate from Ada High School?
I am a proud member of Ada High School’s Class of 2013.

Can you remember who you sat beside in first grade?
• Hmm, that is a tough one, but I am fairly certain Russell Gray sat behind me at some point in Mrs. Beckley’s first grade class. I do remember a time where I turned around to tell him he was bugging me and to please stop but it just so happened to be the day where we were learning about insects so my comment only seemed to add fuel to his fire that day.

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, November 25, 2013

Over the weekend The Icon sat down with Santa Claus and discussed everything starting from Dec. 26 all the way to Dec. 25. The more we talked with him, the more we began to think he resembles a certain Ada resident. But we could never quite nail it down. Our chat took place while he visited youngsters of all ages in a town north of Ada. 

By the way, Santa has a facebook page and may be found on LinkedIn. Here's a small portion of our talk.
