Ada High School Icon columnist
I have learned so much from writing here in the Icon, so I wanted to reflect on this school year and everything that I have learned from this experience so far.
1- Giving myself grace and pushing through my own short-comings
I’ve had to learn how to produce two articles a month on top of school and sports. If I really needed to, I could take a break from this column, but I really want to stick with it, so I haven’t.
This is the 27th installment in this series. Click here for the previous installment.
An earlier column in this series focused on Abraham and Anna Locher Lugibihl. This column features Abraham and Anna’s daughter, Susan, and her husband Dr. John J. Sutter.
Susan married Dr. John J. Sutter. His parents were Johannes (or John) and Elizabeth Waltï Sutter.

Wayne as an adult returned to Bluffton and was active in many aspects of the community including serving as mayor.
