Each year, a deceased former Upper Arlington resident who brought honor and recognition to our community is selected for the Wall of Honor, with a memorial plaque installed on the Plaza at the Municipal Services Center, 3600 Tremont Road.
The City of Upper Arlington and the Upper Arlington Historical Society are pleased to announce that Robin Hess Comfort and Joanie Igel Dugger have been selected for induction onto the Wall of Honor in 2023.
Both women shared a dedication to the betterment of the UA Schools. Robin served on the Board of Education for 11 years and as Board President for two years, playing a pivotal role in the facilities master planning project that led to a monumental transformation of the district’s educational facilities. Joanie served as Executive Director for the UA Education Foundation, growing it into a model for communities across the state.
Society members will receive an invitation to the event, along with guests of the families. RSVPs are required.
To be considered for the Wall of Honor, a person must meet three criteria: He or she must be deceased; must have lived in Upper Arlington for part of his/her life; and must have made a significant contribution to the city, the state and/or the nation. Honorees are recognized via permanent bronze plaques on the “Wall of Honor” located on the plaza in front of the Municipal Services Center.
