Marian Ridgeway This is very interesting. I have been gone from UA for 20+years and had no idea of some of the great alum!

Jenny Brown Tincher

Jenny Brown Tincher Not sure if the "hall of fame" is still hanging in Jones, but would love to see postings of each of the displays.

Kay Worrel

I'm so glad you like the online yearbook collection! All volumes from 1923-1999 are currently available (the schools requested a ten-year delay), and we'll be adding another volume each year!

Nancy This question was a challenge, especially for someone who was clueless about Hugo Awards let alone winners of the award. With assistance from Google, I believe the correct answer must be Robert Heinlein.

You got it!! Nice job! :) Our UAHS graduate, Lois McMaster Bujold, has even won more Hugo Awards for Best Novel than Isaac Asimov (he won two, plus one Retro Hugo).

UA Archives | Upper Arlington History Lois McMaster is pictured here during her Sophomore year at UAHS in 1965. Can you name the only other author to have won four Hugo Awards for Best Novel, besides Lois McMaster Bujold? The other author is not a UAHS graduate, but it proves that Lois is in some very good company!

Absolutely right!! Upper Arlington resident Jeni Britton Bauer, co-founder of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, has gained widespread recognition for emphasizing local, farm-fresh ingredients in her unique flavor combinations.

As a lifetime UA resident, documentary filmmaker and collector of old films, posters, records and just about anything else nostalgic, I really appreciate the efforts being made by the UA library to digitize and make these documents/photos so easily accessible. I am particularly excited about the forthcoming UAHS Yearb...ooks! Preservation of this unique community's history is vital. Way too much historical film, documents, photos, etc., have already been lost or destroyed in this Country and efforts like these should not go unnoticed. Thank you Sara Klein and others for preserving the history of our city!Read More
