The Oberlin Review

Oberlin community members gathered together last Thursday to inaugurate the new George A. Abram Pavilion on South Main Street. Speakers and family members at the memorial inauguration cut the ribbon together, signifying the opening of the renamed pavilion. Abram, who recently passed, made many lasting contributions to the town of Oberlin and the College. He established the Oberlin Chapter of the Boys & Girls Club, consulted with Oberlin College to create their Affirmative Action Plan, served as a longtime public-address announcer at College varsity sports games, and much more.
