Cannon ball in the quarry

Here's another view of the Buckeye quarry, where swimming was once a Bluffton summer experience. Paul Diller snapped this photo of a young man doing a cannon ball off the medium dive. (There were three diving boards in the quarry.) We're guessing this photo is from the late '50s or early '60s.

Notice the cement ledge and raft. Portions of the ledge still exist. (Jim Diller photo collection)
