nice young man. His<br />
humor and personality combined<br />
with his determination<br />
and work ethic make him a joy<br />
to have in class. He is often<br />
Joseph Osborn<br />
overlooked because he is very<br />
unassuming, yet he continues<br />
to perform well.”<br />
Joseph is planning to pursue a degree in<br />
engineering at an Ohio college or university.<br />
Joseph is the son of Brian and Lori Osborn<br />
