AMIS16

This plate was seen in the Rosenberger Drive parking lot at Bluffton University. On first glance doesn't it appear to state "Amish"? or is that our own imagination. We do not know the real meaning of the plate.

Note: This message was sent to several persons in Bluffton, including The Icon, and to St. John's United Church of Christ members.

I called American Airlines and we are still scheduled to fly Friday and Saturday, if the tower at the PAP airport is up.

Bluffton Icon:

Carol and I happened to find the Bluffton Icon through Dean Neiswander's obit. It's very interesting and we come back to it almost daily to get updated Bluffton information. Best of luck in your endeaver!
