Tell me about yourself, Ike.

I'm Ike, a miniature schnauzer. I'm the mascot of The Bluffton Icon.

Really?
Yes, and there's lot more. I'm actually the brains behind the project.

How is that?
I come up with story ideas, photo ideas and the political stance of the Icon.

Greetings from Australia! My daughter Lee and I arrived in Melbourne at 6:00 a.m. Monday, Sept. 27, after too-many-hours-to-think-about in the air over the Pacific. Believe me, it was a long night.

The Bluffton Library had many donors and volunteers support its recent 75th anniversary celebration. The attachment to this story lists those donors.
