What are you doing presently? 
I went to Miami University. After college, I moved to Paris, France for a year.  While I was there, I met a Marine who was stationed at the American Embassy.  He wanted to get married, but he was on his way to posts in Syria and South Africa and I went home to go to law school at Ohio State. 

Here are births reported from Bluffton Hospital from Aug. 7 to Sept. 16:

Spain was the theme of the 5th annual International Party held recently at Maple Crest, Bluffton. It featured Sally Reeder speaking about the “adventures and mis-adventures” of her family’s life in Spain during the summer of 1970. 

At that time, Reeder was working on a master’s degree in Spanish with classes taught by Spanish professors in the city of Madrid while her husband, Dick, played “Mr. Mom” to their four children (ranging in age from 7-16).
