ICON OPINION PIECE
I was born in Bluffton Hospital. So was my brother, sister, wife and her brothers. Our two daughters were also born there. Many persons reading this can say the same thing about their siblings and family members.
We can't, however, be certain our next Bluffton generation can proclaim this, considering the era of which we live. It's one where small town, rural American hospitals risk closing.
That's why two major January announcements from Bluffton Hospital are cause for great cheer in our small town. We urge you to read these.
Here's some great advice from the Gardners of Bluffton and Pandora:
If you have not yet made your order for seed from the catalogues that you have received in the past few weeks or months you should expedite this as soon as you can.
The later you make your order the later (exponentially speaking) you will receive it.
Those who wait to make there order, say the middle of March may not receive the seeds till late May or early June. If you make your order now you should get them sometime in the next few weeks.

To best understand our community, it's helpful to appreciate the musical gene of those who carry a Bluffton birthmark.
Growing up in a household bursting of Swiss traditions, this truth became obvious early on in the shaping of my own attitude toward events swirling around me.
A case in point is the David Rothen New Year's caroling folklore. My parents' reference to this event centered on their teen years in the late 1920s.
