One of my responsibilities when I worked at the Bluffton News was to develop the black and white film that the editor shot every week. That was back in the days before digital cameras were the photographer's tools of choice. After winding the film into the canisters in total darkness, the process of developing each roll took about 30 minutes.

It was always a somewhat stressful half hour for me.

My attempt at giving Old Man Bluffton a Christmas list

Posted by Fred Steiner on December 22, 2009 - 6:38am

THEN HE GAVE ME SOME ADVICE FOR KEEPING BLUFFTON A GREAT LITTLE TOWN

Dear Icon Viewer:

It's a strange feeling to ride in a parade...watching the crowd. This happened to me on Nov. 28. As I rode and watched, I spied a guy who I hadn't seen in town for some time. It was Old Man Bluffton. He retired to warmer clims some years ago, but returns now and then to check up on his real estate.

After the parade, I caught up with him in the Senior Citizens Center and was lucky to give him a Bluffton Christmas list.
