I was born and raised in Gahanna, Ohio (think Easton area in Columbus) but my parents are from Southern, Ohio - Gallia County and Lawrence County, so I spent lots of summers at my grandparents farm.

The Bluffton Icon is happy to introduce to viewers the wit and wisdom of Bluffton's own Sam Diller, addressed the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce during its Dec. 10 breakfast meeting.

The Icon videotaped his talk and Diller gave his permission to show it. This is the first-ever complete program offered by The Icon. We believe is "vintage Sam Diller," as good as any small town gets.

The talk is in two parts, both 10 minutes in length. Stay tuned. We will offer viewers more of videos like this one throughout 2011.
