Funny thing though, he never was paid for these Bluffton promotion efforts. Instead, he was forced to sell real estate on the side

Bluffton’s major promoter since 1957, Dick Boehr, has “sort of” called it quits.
No one has yet signed up to fill the vacancy, nor has asked to see the job description.
For reasons unknown to most residents here, this past winter he sold the “Boehr block” at the corner of Main and Vine, a building where he did most of his Bluffton brainstorming since purchasing it in 1969.
