BHS alumni and pioneer aviatrix

Dorothy “Dottie” Anderson
Jan. 7, 1926 – Dec. 8, 2012
Member BHS class of 1947

Dorothy “Dottie” Anderson took her first airplane ride when she was eight years old, a few years before Amelia Earhart launched an around-the-world flight attempt.

Anderson’s love of flying turned into a career, describing it this way: ‘From the time I saw my first airplane that was all I talked about. I can’t remember the time that I did not want to fly.”

As a member of the Bluffton High School graduating class of 1947 she did more than talk about flying. She learned to fly airplanes before she learned to drive automobiles. And, she built her own airplane, but that comes later in her story.

Next stop, Regionals. In front of a near capacity crowd, the #2 seeded Pandora-Gilboa boys basketball team pulled off the upset of #1 Delphos St. John’s in convincing fashion, to claim the Northwest 2 District Championship at the Elida Fieldhouse by a final of 56-43.  This is the third district title in school history for the P-G boys (1999, 2018). A few of the stars on this year’s team were young ballboys for the State Final Four team in 2018.

March has arrived. For many men, this is a time to take it easy and enjoy watching your favorite (or not-so-favorite) college basketball team compete in March Madness.

For others, it’s your last break before a busy spring of outdoor work around the yard or in the fields. For these reasons, March has often also been considered the perfect time to think about a vasectomy. ESPN has even covered the trend of men scheduling vasectomies in March, and local trends reflect this as well. Some clinics even report a 50% increase in vasectomies through March.
