For most Bluffton students who attended the elementary school in the mid-to-late 1950s, this was the staff. Names of the staf members are under the photo.

Review by Robert McCool
The book's title is all the introduction it needs. Anything more would be superfluous.
I waited over a year for this book to become available at my local library. There's a reason for that. It's that much in demand. Rightfully so.
There are books that are so perfect that I feel my ability to comment on them is inadequate to do them justice. “WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING” (Random House, IBSN 978-1-9848-2761-6) by Delia Owens, is such a book, a book about isolation and loneliness.
