Editor's note: Bluffton University will present "The Music Man" Thursday, Friday and Saturday (May 3-4-5) in Founders Hall. Dr. Steve Jacoby, retired Bluffton University music professor, suggested that the Icon interview the two Bluffton graduates who played the part of Harold Hill in previous campus productions of the "The Music Man." We thought Steve had a great idea, so we caught up with the two previous Harold Hills - Mark Thompson (1972) and Dan Basinger (1995).
May is a busy month at Maple Crest Senior Living Village. The May activities calendar is now available for Icon viewers as an attachment at the bottom of this story.
