Was Mrs. Emmert your teacher?

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 5, 2018 - 1:35pm

Here's a Bluffton elementary class photo of Esther Emmert's class. We don't know the grade level or the graduating year of the class, or even the member names.

Anyone with assistance, please e-mail: [email protected]

VIEWER COMMENTS:

From Amy Jordan King: Class if 1983. My brother Tim Jordan is one of them. I think Nancy Badertscher and Deron Geiser possibly Kurt Badertscher also.

Posted by Fred Steiner on August 20, 2018 - 9:56am

The teacher is Jill Zimmerly. That's all we know about this Leland Gerber elementary class photo, except for a couple familiar faces that we're trying to put names with.  Anyone with more names for this class are encouraged to contact the Icon at: [email protected].

And, thanks to Jim Diller and his sister in California, we've added some names to the photo posted last week. Click here for that update.

Bluffton HS home economics class demonstration

Posted by Fred Steiner on August 6, 2018 - 1:33pm

The Icon posted this photo taken by Leland Gerber. Jim Diller provided some background on this photo:

The class is in the Bluffton High School Home Economics class. I believe the teacher is Peg (Gagliardi) Diller, my sister, who taught there in the mid-1950s. 

Fourth from the left in front row is Louella Steiner my aunt, next to her is Verna Diller – my mom, next to Verna is Edna Ramseyer.  Behind Louella is a Mrs. Grismore, who I think Allen Grismore’s wife and grandmother to Ken Bucher.
