On Feb. 2, Oak Park community members gathered at the Nineteenth Century Club, 178 Forest Ave., to honor Don Vogel — a teacher, library director, and interim principal at Oak Park and River Forest High School for more than 40 years.
Vogel has also been president of the OPRF Scholarship Foundation since 2014, having raised some of the foundation’s highest donations, including a $175,000 gift in 2015.
