Who do you want to meet?

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 18, 2010 - 10:06am

Blame this on the Olympics and the fact that Scott Hamilton's voice is prominent during the analyses of the figure skating events. Every time I hear him speak, it makes me wish I were at the Olympics. Not that I want to watch the athletes -- which okay, yeah, I wouldn't mind that -- but mostly because I want to meet him.

Note: Click here to link to website.

Thanks to an e-mail conversation recently with Roger Triplett, we've discovered a fascinating website dedicated to the Triplett Corporation.

Roger, son of Ropp and Mary Emma Triplett, is a 1974 BHS grad. He says that the website was developed by a man in Europe who is a "fan of the Triplett meter." Roger supplied him with some photos from the Triplett archives. Darrell Groman supplied him with information about Bluffton.

THE LINE UP

You might call it a gaggle of geese. Do you suppose that's what the geese call it? Several of Bluffton's finest Canadian ex-patriots found the northern bank of the Buckeye a fairly sunny spot earlier this week. Meanwhile, the rest of the thundering herd remained in on water's edge.
