On Valentine's Day, true love and chance meetings

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 14, 2010 - 8:36am

In the early 1940s my parents were students at Bluffton College, a small midwestern liberal arts college. Dad was very shy, Mother quite the opposite. She knew him by name and knew of his family's connection to the college. But she was a rural farm girl with a love for English and music. His heart was in the sciences.

Warning: Phone calls from "local fire departments" is a scam

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 13, 2010 - 6:37am

It has been brought to our attention that an organization is calling
residents of Bluffton and possibly Beaverdam and Richland Township asking
for donations to support your local area fire departments.

Bluffton Fire Department and Beaverdam-Richland Township Fire Department are not affiliated with this organization in any way. If you receive a phone call regarding this issue please attempt to obtain the caller's name and phone number and contact your police department.

Sincerely,
Chief Jon Kinn
Bluffton Fire Department
