Here's former Bluffton sixth grade teacher, Bob Stratton, with his daughter, Barb. Paul Diller took this color slide photo, we are guessing in the late 1950s. Any Icon Viewer with more information, please contact us. We'd love to hear from Barb, too. (From the Jim Diller collection)

According to Luke 2, a Heavenly host of angels appeared on Christmas Eve. Well, technically, no one is sure of what time they appeared. But they did. And then, of course, along came the Wise Men. Okay, so today - Christmas Eve - two, well, let's just call them Wise angel men, appeared at Bluffton Family Rec center, as I was running around the track.
