Visits of Elyria Native Dan Conden Return Home
Dan Conden, once a resident of Elyria and now an Ohio penitentiary employee, visited Lorain County friends before returning to Columbus after a five week absence. He recently returned from New York where an operation addressed a tumor behind his left ear that had grown over years.
