Leaving a Legacy.
Since July 2018, a series of “leaving a legacy” articles have been published in the quarterly issue of Senior Living, Ashland Times-Gazette. Ashland County seniors who are interviewed and profiled have unique stories and legacies, and are not necessarily well-known in the community.
