15 Minutes With Reema Bazzy

Reema Bazzy

By Mary Pannabecker Steiner

When did you first move to Bluffton? Why?

I moved to Bluffton when I was 11 years old with my family. Dad had bought what used to be Gratz's Shoe Store. We lived in Swanton, Ohio, prior to that. [As an aside, underneath one of the windows in what used to be Bazzy's Shoes is one of those old machines that would X-ray your foot.]

When did you graduate from BHS?

'83! '83! EightyEightyEightyEighty 83!!
