New Boston Pushes for Vern Riffe Memorial
New Boston, Ohio seeks a bronze marker for Vern Riffe, longest serving Ohio House speaker, funded partly by a $1,500 cost with a potential $500 Bicentennial Commission grant. The town plans to place a marker during Ohio's bicentennial observance in 2003, aided by local donations. Riffe retired in 1994 and died in 1997, leaving a lasting impact on the state. Mayor Jim Warren notes the town has few memorials and floods have diverted attention.
