Philip "Bruno" Murphy

What year did you graduate from Bluffton High School:

1987

What are you doing now:

I'm a team trainer at Arby's in Bluffton. I teach the new crew how to serve customers and run the equipment. When I'm not teaching, I'm usually found in the drive-thru window.

I understand you have a rather large movie collection. How many movies do you have?

I have about 200 DVD's. The oldest movie I have a copy of is "The Scarlet Pimpernel" with Leslie Howard from 1934.

The lack of access to this corner of town has caused a great strain on DTR associates traveling to and from work. It has also caused problems for persons wanting to dump items at the Spring Street recycle center.

Yes, an idyllic scene from Bluffton, Ohio, in the 1800s. Can you place the location of this colorized post card photo? The bridge, known as the "arch" bridge once crossed Riley Creek where the Little and Big Rileys join. The one-lane bridge was removed in the late 1950s when the present structure, which may be built better, but lacks the architectural attractiveness, was installed.
