This year's second addition to the field of stars at Christmas Corner is a gold star dedicated to Bob Bailey, who retired in 2000 as State Auto's chairman and CEO after a 26-year career with the company. He supported Christmas Corner throughout his tenure, which was highlighted by performances at the annual lighting ceremony by students from what was then State Auto's adopted school, Deshler Elementary. Bob, his wife, Sylvia, and son, Jim, were with us for the lighting ceremony earlier this month.
