Subject: OFT awards State Rep. Brian Williams!

To all:

The OFT awarded the Ohio 41st. Dist. State Rep. Brian Williams (D) a "Friend of Public Education Award" last Friday. This was in recognition of his contributions to the defense and improvement of public education. Hopefully, ORTA will give similar recognition.

Keep up the good work Brian! We need more representatives like Brian who have the children, their public school teachers and their retired teachers at heart.
