I think maybe Craig Wilson, he of Action Line fame, and his wife Elizabeth are hiding their talents under a bushel. I was Googling to look for Barberton Hungarian restaurants when I came across this item from November:
Honor Elizabeth and Craig Wilson
Date: 09-28-2004
Craig and Elizabeth Wilson will be honored Thursday, Nov. 4, at the Barberton Community Foundation’s fifth annual Community Recognition Dinner Presented by Bank One at Anthe’s Restaurant. The Wilsons will be awarded the Foundation’s Outstanding Citizens Award for 2004. They were chosen September 10 by an independent committee of community and civic leaders.
The Wilsons’ list of community service activities is nearly endless. A Detroit native, Craig is a member of Barberton Noon Kiwanis (since 1991), where fittingly, he chairs the Community Service Committee. He has also chaired the club’s Adopt-A-Highway Program for more than 10 years as well as the Labor Day Pancake Breakfast for three years.
Originally from Cleveland, Elizabeth joined Magic City Kiwanis (the morning club) in 1995. During her presidency in 2002-03, her club added a record 17 new members. The Wilsons’ Kiwanis activities overlap in many ways including collaborative efforts with the Highway Program, Rose Delivery Day each October, driving the elderly to doctor visits, etc.
In addition, the Wilsons who are avid Cleveland Indians fans, travel to Jacobs Field at least once per season to get baseballs signed by players and coaches for the purpose of donating the balls to local charity auctions. Through the Akron-based “Hosting International Travelers” program, the Wilsons have hosted visitors from Russia, Bangladesh, Morocco, Tajikistan, Hungary, Central America, Nigeria, Nepal, India, Taiwan, China, the Ukraine, Belarus, Australia and South Africa.
A United States Navy veteran, Craig retired from the Beacon Journal in 1991 after 40 years of service. During those years, he worked as a reporter, photographer, chief librarian and director of the Action Line column.
Elizabeth worked for the Social Security Administration for over 31 years as a staff assistant, operations supervisor and claims representative. Along with volunteer duties at St. Augustine, the St. Vincent DePaul Society and Barberton Area Community Ministries, Elizabeth works part-time at Snowball Books downtown Barberton.
By the way, can anyone direct me to a good Barberton Hungarian restaurant, one that serves something beside chicken, which I don't eat? Thanks.
