Here's a photo showing four important women who had significant connections to Bluffton College, as you will soon learn. Leland Gerber took this photo.
We rely on Alice Ruth Ramseyer's [her husband, Bob, is the son of Ferne Ramseyer in the photo] identifiction of the women. Here's her explanation with The Icon's [comments inside brackets]:
Bryan L. Burkholder, son of Dwaine and Cheryl Burkholder, 407 Ethan Circle, Bluffton, recently graduated from the College of Engineering at Ohio Northern University. He received the Bachelor of Science in computer engineering.
On campus, Burkholder was active in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
Here's an interesting note from the Bluffton Public Library website:
Bluffton Public Library and Bluffton University Musselman Library are partnering to promote reading and creativity by hosting an Edible Books Contest on July 25. Finale activites will also include demos for adults and kids activities. Community Markets is our main event sponsor.

Notice the shoes that have been popping up in front of businesses on Main Street? According to Lynda Best of Bluffton Relay for Life, the shoes are an attention grabbing visual reminder that the Relay for Life is coming on June 21 and 22 and that cancer touches people from all walks of life, young and old.
