We feel for Lewis S., who may have lived in Bluffton over a century ago.
In late March of 1908 he penned this postcard note to a Miss Lizzy Poffendick of Columbus.
The note reads: “Why not answer my letter. Are you angry at me. If you are just let me know. I have been up here since Saturday and will stay two or three more days.
Best regards
Lewis S.”
The postmark reads:
Bluffton, Ohio,
Mar 23 (March)
4 p.m.
1908.
It was received in Columbus the next morning at 8 a.m.
Ohio Lt. Governor Husted also announced that Phase II of the Responsible RestartOhio plan for sports activities will allow contact practice for all sports to resume on Monday, June 22.
"This means football, lacrosse, and other contact sports can resume scrimmages and full training regiments as long as safety protocols are observed," said Lt. Governor Husted.
"Although June 22 is the day contact practice may begin, it will ultimately be up to local sports organizers and high school leaders on when is the best time to proceed."

Stop and admire the flowers. Thanks for Stratton's Greenhouses and local contributors Main Street again is in full bloom. Here's a glance looking north toward the town hall.
