Richard Jordan: Insurance is his business - for 50 years

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 21, 2011 - 6:17pm
Richard Jordan - 50 years on Main Street

Need crop insurance? We know an experienced insurance agent. His phone number is easy to remember: 315-W. Okay, that was his business phone in 1961. It's changed since then. Now it's 419-358-6909.

Lots of other things have also changed in Bluffton since 1961. Bluffton's Main Street has had its share of business ownership changes and several digits have joined our telephone numbers. The retail district has had two facelifts, lost one stop light and several gas stations, gained a couple banks and was given 45817 as its postal zip code.

15 minutes with Kirstie Runion, Bluffton University Icon intern

Kirstie Runion

Where are you from?

20 miles north of Cincinnati - Monroe - just minutes from the new outlet mall.

Where did you go to school?

I went to East Lakota through third grade and then was forced (and cried for a week) to go to Cincinnati Christian. Then I fell in love with basketball and knew I'd never get a good scholarship from a class of 50, so I went back to Lakota. I tore my ACL, missed my friends, and went back to CC. I graduated from there.

Do you have any siblings?
