Maybe Marlin Gerber is the Johnny Appleseed of blueberries. Leduc, Michigan, blueberries to be specific.
Bluffton likes blueberries and Marlin Gerber feeds our appetites for the tiny summer berry.
Who is Marlin anyway and why does he come to Bluffton with blueberries?
Originally from Sugarcreek, he enrolled at Bluffton College in 1953. He took off a couple years to volunteer in PAX. Then he returned to graduate in 1960.
