Name: Orville Wright
Reason: Orville Wright was born in Dayton and he most importantly reprsents the sprit of Ohioans. First of all, he was exterely intelligent. He developed one of the most important ideas of the 21st century in the flying machine or airplane. Secondly, the develpment of the plane changed the power structure of the world. Immediately with the airplane and it's technology, the United States went to the forefront of world powers by gaining control of the skies. Third, the development of the airplane required a very brave man. It's not everyday that someone invents something so important, but to risk your life each time you try out your invention, shows increadiable determination. This determination is what made Ohio a great great state. Please choose Orville Wright.
