Letter: From Icon reader Jane Yoder, Louisville
Hi Fred and Mary:
Just a quick note from Louisville...I just LOVE your website and check it out quite often! Nancy Yeager told me about it soon after you were up and running. What a great way for so many of us former Blufftonites to keep in touch with Bluffton! I really appreciate what you and your staff are doing.
Re: the historical picture of the Methodist Episcopal Church Choir...I am wondering if the signature on the back belonged to Harl "Choppy" Mann who was married to Pearl Bogart Mann.
Also, I wonder if Florence Bogart (in the front row) was related to Mrs. Mann...? Who around town or the college that would even know?
I remember going to Mrs. Mann's house for piano lessons and visiting with her husband. Now I wish I had asked my parents how Mr. Mann acquired the nickname "Choppy"!!
Keep up the GREAT job.
