Seems like a very long time since we've been to a movie theater, despite the fact that we have such a great one here in town. This is not my husband's choice. In fact, he is usually game to join me at whatever movie I mention wanting to see, including the improperly dubbed "chick flicks".

He claims that it's simply a matter of an excuse to sit close to me; I suspect it's more likely the promise of heavily buttered popcorn.

Here's a familiar face to Bluffton High School students who took driver's ed in high school, and chemistry in high school during the 1950s and 1960s. It's Wilford Geiger, also a partner in the Geiger and Diller men's store once-upon-a-time on Main Street.

He also lead a pretty mean cheer during homecoming pep sessions.

Paul Diller took this photo of Wilford "don't put the zinc in the sink" Geiger in the early 1950s.
