If you were to take a glance at 1972 BW graduate Bill Summers' resume, then the fact that he has been chosen for The Northeast Ohio Business Hall of Fame would, most likely, not surprise you.

Summers went from working in a garage as a "grunt" to working as the CEO of McDonald Investments; but he fondly recalls the older days in the garage, and he pays credit to the humble experiences that have shaped him.

In an article in the 2013 November/December issue of Inside Business magazine, Summers remembers BW as playing a key role in his success. A former Chairman of BW's Board of Trustees, Summers also co-chaired two of his alma mater's  most successful capital campaigns.

The five 2013 Hall of Fame inductees, including Summers, were selected by a blue ribbon committee of business and civic leaders. They were recognized as "men and women who have helped to create Northeast Ohio’s industries and shaped the area’s economic landscape."
