Dougherty Adds To Award ‘Hat Trick’
Convent Rd. resident Paul
Dougherty was feted last month by commissioners, who presented the
Aston Historical Society co-founder with a township proclamation
to honor his community service.
Since Dougherty was a part-time
Aston police officer for 15 years, it was jokingly noted by Fifth
Ward Commissioner/Lifetime Resident James McGinn that Paul was the
only person to have arrested a member of the board of
commissioners. Dougherty also served on the township planning
commission for three years, and 16 years on the zoning hearing
board.
In 1962, the amateur historian
starting collecting old photographs of his hometown, and 30 years
later he realized a dream with the official creation of a township
historical society to preserve a record of Aston’s heritage for
future generations.
Dougherty is no stranger to
receiving awards. In 1968, he earned a state safety award for his
innovative teen driving education program. In 2002 Paul received
the Lee Brown Award for Volunteerism, and he has been honored by
the Delaware County Historical Society.
Dougherty is the only Aston
resident to have ever been named Aston Township’s Outstanding
Citizen three times, receiving that accolade in 1968, 1993, and
again in 2005.
“I think that’s a hat trick,
Paul,” Commissioner V. Michael Fulginiti declared.
Along with the township
proclamation, an engraved plaque recognized Dougherty’s
“untiring dedication to serving Aston Township.”
