| WHEREAS, Throughout his career, Richard Durst has clearly shown the potential of each person to have a positive effect on the quality of life in our society. An international authority in theatre set design and the role of arts in academic training, his work has been featured in group exhibitions in Beijing and Seoul, and he was invited to design the world premiere of The Belltower for the Paris Opera. Without question, he has distinguished himself as a conscientious and responsible Ohioan, and he is truly deserving of high praise; and |
| WHEREAS, We are proud to note that it is through the unsurpassed efforts and deep commitment of diligent people like Richard Durst that the State of Ohio continues to grow and prosper.
