My big sis went to
OSU in 53 -55, graduating in Dental Hygiene. As a result we made a great many trips to Columbus, usually using route 35 from Kettering to Xenia connecting to route 42 and eventually passing London. The high school faced out onto route 42, dark red brick and limestone lentils, a school so small they must have dressed every boy in the building to field a team. The football field was right next door with maybe two sets of bleachers on one side and a single set on the other. When I read the
OSU program and saw that Dick LeBeau, a star player, was from London I was amazed.
Today I looked the place up on google maps to be sure of the routes and man it must have really grown in the last few years as it was still a one traffic light kind of place even into the 60s.
