Letter: Remembering classmate Loren Core

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 13, 2020 - 10:52am

Butch Amstutz remembers BHS classmate Loren Core

I have had a few special friends in my life, and Loren Core was one of them. In our Bluffton High School Class of 1964, we had such a fun group of friends.

A few of us had cars in school, and back then, that was a big deal. One of Loren’s first vehicles was Hilty Flowers’ delivery panel truck. If that truck could talk, it would have had a lot of stories to tell about Loren’s driving!
