Two guys from Bluffton

After 38 years decided it was time to sell their business - Lima Lumber Co.
Posted by Fred Steiner on February 26, 2021 - 4:47pm

Two guys from Bluffton hold the local record for combined years of experience in being in business together, and they don’t even work in town.

Kevin Gratz and Mike Steiner, both Bluffton High School graduates and lifelong residents, have sold their interests in Lima Lumber Co., effective March 1.

Kevin, a 1970 BHS grad, and Mike, a 1972 BHS grad, have nearly a century of combined lumber yard experience going back to their days at Reichenbach Lumber and Basinger Furniture.

A recent visit to the Bluffton elementary school website photo gallery drew our attention to the "extreme science assembly." Here's one of the photos, and we are very sorry we missed this event. It looks interesting. Guess you'll have to ask an elementary student for details.

Letter: Thank you for the article on John Bosiger started the cider press

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 26, 2021 - 2:46pm

Icon viewers:
My mother, Gladys Eudora Basinger Bunn was one of 10 children born to Jerimiah and Anna (Diller) Basinger.  

I would like the Icon to know how much the article in the Our Swiss Connections on "Suter cider press was started by John Bosiger," posted on the Icon on Dec. 10 touched my heart.  I have no children, so I don't spend much time studying my family history, but yesterday a cousin from Texas contacted me and asked if I know any Basinger family history.

Letter: Jim Kinn thanks his "snow angels"

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 26, 2021 - 2:25pm

Icon viewers:

 My snow angels appeared the day after the big snow.

My snow thrower broke down and I needed parts. My truck was buried in snow on the street. I started to shovel it out when Ricky and his sister, Zoey, came out of nowhere and asked, “Do you need help, sir?” They made quick work of getting my truck out. When I told Ricky I was going to get my wallet, he said he didn’t want any money.
