15 minutes with Marcia Krautter Suter

Marcia Suter

Year you graduated from Bluffton High School?

1969

You moved to the Bluffton school district from Cory-Rawson. What grade was that? Was it difficult to change schools?

We moved in the summer of 1965 after my brother graduated from C-R and just before my freshman year. It was kind of scary moving away from my C-R friends, but being in the band introduced me to lots of kids pretty fast. In my recollection, I believe I blended in right away. My classmates may remember it differently though.
