Reema Bazzy

By Mary Pannabecker Steiner

When did you first move to Bluffton? Why?

I moved to Bluffton when I was 11 years old with my family. Dad had bought what used to be Gratz's Shoe Store. We lived in Swanton, Ohio, prior to that. [As an aside, underneath one of the windows in what used to be Bazzy's Shoes is one of those old machines that would X-ray your foot.]

When did you graduate from BHS?

Chris Purves in the trees

By Mary Pannabecker Steiner

Christine Purves began climbing trees as a child growing up in Berne, Ind., first in her grandfather's back yard where a huge elm "branched out with perfect places to sit and view the area surrounding it."

Later, when her parents bought their first home, a big mulberry tree proved to be the perfect place for Purves to escape to sit and read, "all the while being very careful not to go back into the house full of mulberry stains."
