Jefferson Awards: O’Neal grateful for those who served before him
JEFFERSON AWARDS
Twelve area volunteers won local Jefferson Awards. Local sponsors include Husky Energy, Your Hometown Stations, The Lima News and United Way of Greater Lima. One winner, announced Thursday night during a virtual event online, will represent the region in the national awards event.
LIMA Over the years, Jerome O’Neal has worked alongside some of the most iconic names in Lima’s recent history.
Local legends such as Walter Potts, Frank Lamar, Jessie Pope and Estella Cooper influenced O’Neal. He learned from an early age the power of helping people, deeply ingrained from years of watching his mother, Jacqueline O’Neal, impact so many lives through Allen County Head Start.
