Here's a very interesting photograph from the 1986 Bluffton 125th anniversary parade.

It's the Bluffton American Legion Post 382 honor guard. This is one of Bluffton's oldest continually operating units going back to the end of World War I.

We see Don Martz (far right) making certain the lines are straight. There's Jean Mueller, Bill Mericle, Gene Mericle and Robert Stratton. Icon views, please help with more IDs.
