This week we are talking with Trenton Donley (Mrs. Bogart’s class), Nicole Boyle (Mrs Kingsley’s), Peyton Gallant (Mr. Armstrong’s class), and Olivia Parker (Mrs. Raeburn’s class). This is part of the continuing series of interviews with Bluffton third graders. Note: This interview got off to a slow start because the interviewer mistakenly referred to the students as fourth graders and there were long pauses for answers, until this issue was straightened out.

We caught Judy Bronson, the queen of antiques in Bluffton, while she was eating lunch in her new expanded location, at 902 N. Main St. and like everyone else who steps foot into the new location, we said: “Wow!”
Bronson moved from Deer Creek Shoppes in downtown Bluffton to the former Diller Medical building over the Christmas holidays.
“I officially opened on Jan. 21,” she said. “We are now open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.”
