More on "Kipker 1968"

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, December 9, 2020

The Icon's recent "So, you think you know Ada?" photo brought an explanation about the "Kipker 1968" block at the top of the building.

Jennifer Kipker provided the Icon with the following information:

The building is now owned by my husband, Bob Kipker, but was previously owned by his grandfather, Louis Kipker, Sr.

There had been another building beside it that burned down years ago, exposing a wall that wasn't intended to be exterior, therefore it was deteriorating.

Bob and his friend, Tim Rayl, spent 4 years replacing that wall, brick by brick, row by row.

In covid-19 vaccine development
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, November 30, 2020

FROM ONU FACEBOOK - With the recent reporting that three of the COVID-19 vaccines currently in development are highly effective, it’s easy to jump right to the question of “when will we get it?”

While it is impossible to know that at present, we can shed some light on how we got to the point where asking that question is even possible. And for that answer, we need to look to those who worked tirelessly this summer to fast-track the global clinical trials that have delivered the much-needed good news.

Ohio Northern University alumna Donna Christopher, BSPh ’87, is a global vice president of operations for Almac Clinical Services, a division of the Almac Group.
