UA Archives | Upper Arlington History It's great to see the UA community (past and present) coming together to share their memories. If you're enjoying this page, please consider suggesting it to your friends!

Mary Reichert Just wanted to say thanks to all of you for remembering little angel Asenath Dukat. Love you wonderful people of UA. This FB page is a great idea. I was so sorry to hear about Jimmy Crum, too. Wow, what a 'colorful' guy and great sportscaster. I'll always remember him (from those glorious 80's) & Doug & Mona, Gym Gahnall, Ben Gelber, etc.

John Wilson This is excellent!! Thanks for the memories and all the fun facts!!

Mark Meacham This is really cool! And it's GREAT to see the Norwester archived like that. Just wait until we can "tag" those things to our FB page!

The nine-foot "Golden Bear" encased in the auditorium lobby at Upper Arlington High School is actually an Alaskan Brown Bear. The bear was shot while three men, Denver Simmons, Dick Von Maur, and Jimmy Crum, were on a hunting expedition in Kodiak, Alaska. In 1956 the bear was donated to the high school by Jimmy Crum, w...ho was a sports announcer for WCMH-TV and a resident of Upper Arlington. Mr. Crum passed away in January 2009.Read More

Our family moved to UA in 1980, very shortly thereafter a little girl was murdered there, close to the little library just north of Lane Avenue. Does anyone remember this little girl? Did the case ever get solved or is it still an unsolved cold case? There was a red bicycle involved, as I recall. There had never be...en a murder in UA before, probably not since. I have often wondered if anything was ever done to solve this case and who the little girl was.Read More
