Don't forget other local heroes

To the editor:

The News-Tribune editorial of Jan. 12 put into print the thoughts of a great many Oberlinians about our East College Street Project and its unsinkable developers, Ben Ezinga, Naomi Sabol and Josh Rosen. Thank you, News-Trib.

And while we're celebrating, let's offer our praise and support to our other stalwarts, the owners of Ben Franklin, Bead Paradise, Watson's Hardware, and all our downtown retailers.
