You graduated from Bluffton High School in 1976, then from Bluffton College in 1980, correct?

Yes, that's right. My dad (BC Professor Howard Krehbiel), Mom (Evelyn), sisters (Annette & Connie), and younger brother (Steve) all graduated from Bluffton (when it was still the "College"). I really didn't think much about going anywhere else. And I am sure glad I didn't. I stayed on campus most of my years there, even though we lived in Bluffton when I attended college.
