Linda Baber Zwinski

Were you born in Bluffton? When did you graduate from Bluffton High School?

No, I was born in Lima and came to Bluffton in 5th grade. That was the year part of the grade school was at the high school and part I think at the college while the new grad school was being built. I was at the high school. I graduated from Bluffton in 1963.

Tell me some stories about your childhood -- school friends, teachers, funny stories about school or extracurricular.
