It's a sad day in Defiance as one of our own has passed away. Terry Ryan, the author of the best selling book, "Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio" died this past week. It's amazing how many famous people have come out of this little town in the Northwest corner of Ohio. Off the top of my head I think of Ryan, who not only wrote the book, but also had it made into a movie. Then of course, there's Sam Hornish Jr. the Indy Car series two-time champion and reigning Indy 500 winner. Then there's the numerous baseball players who have gone on to play in the minors and major leagues. I'm sure there's several I've left out, but for so many out of such a small town, to me, is just astonishing. As for Sam Hornish Jr. I'm hoping that this week will be a good one as we are heading for the Indy 500 again on Sunday and it would just be great if he could pull off a back-to-back win.
