How long have you lived in Bluffton? What brought you here? Where did you grow up?

We have lived here for a little over 14 years. We lived in Findlay before moving here. My husband Doug worked at UPS and worked in the Lima center. We moved to Bluffton so he could be closer to work. I grew up in McComb and moved to Findlay when I was 15.

When/where did you graduate from high school/college?

I graduated from Liberty Benton High School in 1987. I went to Findlay College for a year then met my husband and got married in April '89.
