| In 1975, Jeremiah Ludington, owner of Ludington News Company in
Detroit, Michigan, founded the Educational Paperback Association.
To honor his dedication and commitment to the educational paperback
market,
the EPA in 1979 established the Jeremiah Ludington Memorial Award.
The Ludington award is presented annually to an individual who has
made a significant contribution to the educational paperback business.
Recipients receive a framed certificate and EPA presents a $2,500
check to the charity of their choice.
Congratulations
