Sometime back in the 1940s the Bluffton Sportsmen's Club members created squirrel houses. Can you believe that? We recognize several persons in this photo and invite Icon viewers to provide additional identification. We'll offer a couple ourselves. Front row, far left, Silas Diller. Top row, far left, Ralph Reichenbach. Bottom row, three men on far right, Nelson Herr, Jack Berry and Eugene Benroth.
Note: Thanks to Dr. Darrell Groman for providing The Icon with this piece in the continuing celebration of Bluffton Boy Scouts' and the centennial year of scouting. This historical Bluffton "Scout Stuff" is on display during June at the Bluffton Public Library.
Area youth are invited to "Make a Splash - READ" this summer by participating in the Bluffton Public Library's Summer Reading Club from June 7 to July 30.
Youth in grades K-12 may register at the library to read for prizes as well as to take part in special programs offered throughout the summer. The goal for youth in grades K-5 is to read for 5 hours during the summer while the goal for teens in grades 6-12 is to read for 10 hours. Those who succeed will receive small prizes and several chances to win bigger prizes.
Once upon a time (in the days of vehicle brand loyalty) my old man drove nothing but Kaisers or Frazers. Back in the early 1950s one of them even had a rear window wiper, as I recall. These were the most beautiful machines a pre-school boy could ever imagine.
