Even though there was a small University of Michigan contingent, the gentlemen of Maple Crest Senior Living Village, overwhelmingly showed their Buckeye Pride at the recent Men’s Banquet.
Nearly 60 residents and guests attended the event, aptly named “Buckeye Night,” and dined on ribs, mashed potatoes, baked beans and deviled eggs with football-shaped brownies for dessert!
The Bluffton High School class of 1963 held its 55th class reunion in Bluffton June 22 and 23.

The Icon talked briefly with Dr. James Harder, retiring Bluffton University president, during his last official full week on campus.
His exit at the end of the month brings to a close a 17-year relationship with the university, 12 of which he served as its president. Those dozen years are an exception to the national average for university presidents. That national on-the-job average for a university president is six years.
