When did you graduate from Bluffton High School? Did you also attend Bluffton College? What was your major?

I graduated from BHS in 1990.  I attended OSU Lima my first year,  then OSU Columbus my second year and when I finally decided what to major in (elementary education), I inquired with Bluffton College about transferring there and found out I could graduate in 2 years there vs staying at OSU where it would take me 3 more years.  So, I did graduate from Bluffton College in 1994.
