Letter: Your April fool's story got me

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 1, 2020 - 2:26pm

Icon editor:
You got me. It was a good story, though, and since we are next to
I-75 and people in Bluffton are helpful to everyone, I can see Derek doing
what the story described. Your April Fools stories are getting more and more
believable.

Rising country singer has recorded a song about Bluffton

All due to a fluke vehicle breakdown on I-75 last summer
Posted by Fred Steiner on March 31, 2020 - 10:08pm

Thanks to a fluke vehicle breakdown on I-75 last summer, a rising star on the national country music scene will soon release an album featuring one song about Bluffton.

That rising star is Sal Walker and his band April Shortbread.

Late Sunday evening last July 21, Derek Dukes stopped to help a group traveling in a Tuscany Thor Motor Coach stalled on the southbound exit 140 ramp. 

Assessing the situation, Dukes drove to the Beaverdam travel center. There he explained the breakdown problem to a mechanic who returned with Dukes and repaired the stranded vehicle.
