Lorrie: Although not an Adams County connection that I know of, the president of the company where I work, Cincinnati Bell, is Rick Ellenberger. I have not personally met him, nor do I know his roots, but being an uncommon name I thought you'd be interested. Let me know if there's more I can find out. Maybe it will help my career!
