Here's a photo that has us scratching our heads. Is it a Bluffton police officer, and if it is, could it be Wade Bechtel? It resembles Wade, but we're aren't completely convinced. Icon viewers help us with this one. Paul Diller took the photo and it was provided by Jim Diller.

Note from Darlene Hey: I looked at the photo, but I know that it isn't my dad, Wade Bechtel. I'm not sure who it is. I can remember seeing him , but I can't give you any names. Sorry!
