Letters: I like your website

Posted by Fred Steiner on November 22, 2009 - 5:29pm

Fred

I really like your web site. Just read the info on Julia Lucas Curtis. Hope you can add lots more like this over time.

You might start with adding a special column just for Bluffton's most senior citizens, like Mrs Patterson. She's 99 and still has a sharp mind full of memories, if not recorded soon will be lost.

I think of others that have passed away that should have had their stories recorded, like Herb Conrad, and Maurice Fett just to mention 2.

Letter: Delighted with The Icon

Posted by Fred Steiner on November 22, 2009 - 5:26pm

Fred,
Nice isn't exactly the word I would use. Delighted might be more accurate. After a going through a period without relevant news and your musings, Chris saw a note about Bluffton Icon at the Food Store.

We looked it up and have been enjoying reestablishing a connection with town. Only 4 miles away and there 3-5 times a week, we still miss out on the "goings on" without real "reporting".

We are delighted you have set this up.
Thanks,
Tim McCarthy

Ask Greg Moser about his license plate. We did. When he was a captain in the Air Force in Viet Nam he served in a group with a code name "Igloo White." Thus, his license plate.
