Monday, June 1, 1998
When James Anthony Krumdieck was born Wednesday night, his parents already knew he was special. But his birth also marked a local medical milestone.
He also happened to be the 1,000th child born through in vitro fertilization at the Greater Cincinnati Institute for Reproductive Health at Christ Hospital, founded in 1992.
The boy, weighing in at 7 pounds, 4 ounces, is the son of Mason residents Mindy and Buzz Krumdieck.

Ohio State University might raise tuition
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The cost of going to Ohio State University may go up. The Columbus Dispatch reported Sunday that the board of trustees probably will be asked Friday to raise tuition by the maximum 6 percent allowed by the state, or $73 a quarter for Ohio resident undergraduate students.
The increase would push annual tuition to $3,879, compared with $3,660 for the school year ending next week.
William J. Shkurti, the university's vice president for finance, said the increase would make Ohio State more competitive academically with similar schools that spend more per student, such as the universities of Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan.
"If you want a better Ohio State University, it will cost you," he said.
The tuition increase is one of several fee increases proposed.
Bob Evans celebrates 80th birthday in style
GALLIPOLIS, Ohio -- Bob Evans is alive and well at age 80, as a police officer who recently stopped him for speeding can attest.
Mr. Evans' son, Stan, said the officer seemed surprised when he saw the sausage king's driver's license after requesting it. "He asked him if he was carrying another piece of identification," Stan Evans said Saturday at a community birthday celebration for Evans. "Dad said he thought he only needed the one."
"I need this," Mr. Evans said about the party. "You see, everyone thinks I'm dead."
Mr. Evans opened a 12-seat diner in this community about 90 miles southeast of Columbus in the 1940s. Bob Evans Farms now has 35,000 employees working in 408 restaurants and plants that make sausage and other food products.
Mr. Evans no longer has an active role with the company.
"Bob loves southern Ohio," former Gov. James A. Rhodes said at the party. "He's done more for it by accident than most people who were elected have done on purpose."
