ORTA to recognize Dennis Leone in the Summer Quarterly

April 13, 2007 -- According to ORTA's publications director Tom Seamon, ORTA plans to recognize Dennis Leone in the Summer 2007 Quarterly, in the "We Salute" section. According to a press release (4/5/07) from the Chillicothe branch of Ohio University, on April 24, Dr. Leone, Interim Assistant Dean for Development and Interim Director of the Ross County/Ohio University-Chillicothe Child Development and Family Service Center, will receive a special award from the Coalition of Rural and Appalachian Schools for his leadership and service as an advocate for Ohio educators.

While it is commendable that ORTA will recognize Dr. Leone in the summer issue, it would also be nice if they would help the rest of us to understand why his STRS Report of March 2007, containing information of critical importance to thousands of retirees and which was to be published in the Spring Quarterly, was rejected. Could it be they support the troops, but not the war?
