Had an interesting chat with Old Man Bluffton

He has lots to say about everything good and not-so-good in town
Posted by Fred Steiner on December 24, 2019 - 5:19pm

Had an interesting chat with Old Man Bluffton recently in Twisted Whisk. 

He's the guy who sort of runs the town, or thinks he does. After all, it is his town.

Years ago he retired to warmer climes, and shows up in Bluffton announced, usually during the holidays to pick up on gossip and peanut brittle at the Senior Center.

He still think Larry Core is village administrator and I’m not about to straighten him out.

As expected, he did most of the talking, but then, when Old Man Bluffton talks, people listen.
