Ed Crosby spends most of his time behind the scenes making sure all of Ohio’s hunter education instructors have what he or she needs to do their job.
He doesn’t seek out the limelight, but instead toils in relative obscurity. Now, however, Ohio Outdoor News is recognizing a job well done on behalf of Crosby by naming him this year’s Person of the Year.
“I’ve never done it for the recognition, but for the betterment of the whole area,” he said of receiving the award.
