Remembering Bert Horn

Former Otterbein treasurer and member of our Friends of the Library group Albert "Bert" Horn (on the left holding the helmet) died on Thursday. He was one of the many Otterbein graduates (class of 1949) that returned to work in the quiet, peacefully village. He served as treasurer from 1953 until his retirement in 1989. This photograph was taken in the summer of 1960 when he paid a visit to Lockbourne Air Force Base. The pilots offered to take him for a ride, and as Horn later recalled, they didn't pull any punches with the aerial acrobatics.

In his retirement Bert Horn continued to serve Otterbein, assisting with parental programs at Orientation and the many alumni gatherings on campus. Everyone here at the Courtright Memorial Library would like to offer their sympathies to his wife Jane and to the rest of his family and friends.
