COVINGTON'S RON EINHAUS HONORED WITH STREET NAME

David Street in Botany Hills is now officially "Ron Einhaus Way", named for one of Covington's most active citizens who died late last year. About thirty people gathered Sunday morning outside St. John Congregational Church for the unveiling of the new street sign.

"He was a tremendous man, he loved Kentucky, he loved Covington, his neighborhood, this church and his family," said Ray Kingsbury of Botany Hills. "Above all, he loved a celebration. Today we celebrate the life of Ron Einhaus and the dedication of Ron Einhaus Way."

Mayor Denny Bowman brought to the ceremony multiple photographs taken by Einhaus over the years and discussed them briefly before the crowd. Einhaus's photography was well known within the community and he could be seen all over town, particularly during events, capturing shots of his beloved Covington.

"Ron Einhaus will be taking aerial photos today," added Kingsbury.

Dustin Einhaus spoke of his father on behalf of the family. "His name will be remembered for generations to come and we hope it inspires more people to become involved in their communities," Einhaus said. "He didn't like pomp and circumstance, he preferred a supporting role, but he would take the lead on important issues."
