I go by “Cat” to most people nowadays although I was most definitely “Catherine” in high school.

When did you graduate from Bluffton High School?

1997

Bring us up to date. Where have you've been since graduating from BHS?

I have been quite a few places since BHS. To keep it brief, I’ll list them:

1. North Manchester, Indiana—1997-2002—I earned my B.S. from Manchester College (now University), including study abroad in Athens, Greece.

Richland Manor has always been known for having big-hearted staff members.The staff seems to always go above and beyond to help residents feel more at home.

One staff member, Flo, who is a Richland Manor nurse, goes to great lengths for the past 10 years by hosting a picnic at her home for current and former residents and their family members.
