One Year Ago
• More than a man of the cloth, the 2011 Delphos Herald Tri-county Man of the Year is characterized as a driven helper. The Rev. David Howell of Trinity United Methodist Church is well-known in Delphos who gets projects up and running. There are innumerable quotes on the importance of humility, the rarity of true selflessness and the transforming quality of giving. Anyone who knows the 2011 Tri-county Woman of the Year, Kay Ahten, will say none of these sayings would do her justice.

25 Years Ago — 1987
• The honor of being named 1987 Tri-County “Woman of the Year” goes to Edna Fischer of Delphos, for her many years of community involvement. Fischer’s face and name become very familiar to Delphos and area residents at Christmas time each year because of her work with the Delphos Community Christmas Project.
