If you met author Barbara Lockard during the years she worked in Bluffton for Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio, you might not even know that she is a writer. You might not know that she is wickedly funny–and I don’t mean that in a Halloween sense.

But you will have your chance if you come to hear Lockard and her sister Karen Striet at noon on Tuesday, October 25 at the Bluffton Public Library. A resident of Findlay, Lockard spent the first year of the COVID andemic writing on her blog, “Old and Slow and Turning White.” I’ve laughed aloud many, many times at the memories–often fond and always cynical–that Lockard writes about.
