Some 80 friends, family members, teammates and fans of Elbert Dubenion–who was a collegiate athlete at Bluffton College in the 1950s and a professional football player for nine seasons with the Buffalo Bills—attended an October 4 ceremony dedicating a portion of Bentley Rd. as Dubenion Drive.

Bluffton alumni and residents Ron Lora, Jim “Spike” Berry and Gene Long led the ceremony attended by Dubenion’s daughters and son-in-law as well as other family members. They represented an ad hoc committee that brought the idea of naming the road for Dubenion to the Village of Bluffton. A sentiment repeated throughout the morning was that the honor was long overdue.
