“I call JR (Lawrence)the pitbull,” Hutchisonsaid. “He’s tenacious,
when he gets his teeth insomething he doesn’t letgo.”
Lawrence said a lot of work has gone into thepath from a lot of differentpeople, and thanked theRULH school district, theUnion Township PublicLibrary system, and theAberdeen Village Councilfor working to get theproject completed.
“I want to thank you allfor this honor,” Lawrencesaid. “And I want to thank Vicki Asbury and thelibrary for thinking it up.”
Lawrence is still activein the project today, and iscurrently working on fix-ing issues with water pool-ing on the newly complet-ed path and is working
with the the OhioDepartment of Transportation to obtainfunding for the second partof the project, which willconnect Aberdeen branchlibrary with the currentvillage sidewalks on ElmStreet.
