Linda Baber Zwinski

Were you born in Bluffton? When did you graduate from Bluffton High School?

No, I was born in Lima and came to Bluffton in 5th grade. That was the year part of the grade school was at the high school and part I think at the college while the new grad school was being built. I was at the high school. I graduated from Bluffton in 1963.

Tell me some stories about your childhood -- school friends, teachers, funny stories about school or extracurricular.

"It's just really fun to add the atmosphere to an event," Krysti Schey of Bluffton, said.

Krysti is the keyboard player and vocalist for a local band named 5 Myles High, a group that provides a little bit of jazz, swing, blues and Dixieland sound when they play at various events.

The group formed over three years ago when Krysti was asked by a friend to play some jazz at their wedding.

"I rounded some people up and we had so much fun playing at the wedding we just decided to keep doing it," Krysti said.
