Today I learned who Lawrence E. Hughes is. Every single day on my way to work (or numerous other places) I pass a sign indicating that I am driving on the Lawrence E. Hughes Memorial Highway. But the sign does not tell me who this man might be. So I looked him up (after concocting many dramatic stories in my head about why he might have a highway dedicated in his memory) and found out that he served in the Ohio House of Representatives from 1969-1982. It looks like the highway was named in 2004 or thereabouts. Thanks for your service, Larry. I enjoy driving on your roadways.
