Bluffton’s major promoter since 1957, Dick Boehr, has “sort of” called it quits.
No one has yet signed up to fill the vacancy, nor has asked to see the job description.

Kriss Heiks, a 1973 graduate of Bluffton High School and 1978 graduate of Bluffton College (University), now living in Boone, N.C., was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that settled in the sinus cavity in the left side of her face.
According to Heiks, essentially the entire left side of her face was removed, including her eye, jaw and nostril.
Reconstruction surgery was performed, but failed due to a problem with her blood vessels, so she expects to undergo radiation, followed by being fitted for a facial prosthetic.
