IUP Council of Trustees Vice Chairperson Laurie Kuzneski accepted the induction for John Sutton, the founder of the Indiana Normal School.  She said that this award is another recognition of Sutton’s legacy.

Accepting the honor for Heath Clark of R&P Coal Company was Bill Darr, who said that Clark would be interested in two things.

Founder of 9th Street Deli Ann Lezanic was represented by her daughter Kimberly Dodds, who said the honor for her mother was important for her family, as she died just weeks after it was announced she would enter the hall.

Bryan Force said it was a great honor to be inducted and offered some advice to others on how to be successful.

Mike Price with First Commonwealth was quick to credit his team for his success.

Former Chamber President Dana Henry was the President’s Choice inductee.  He talked about what this meant to him.
