Bluffton University retired football coach Carlin Carpenter recently entertained the Maple Crest Senior Living group known as "Men-N-Friends" with some of Carpenters own songs and stories.
Arriving in a comfortable-looking pair of jeans and a denim shirt, he claimed that by the time he was done with his one-man show, everyone present would love country music.
Carpenter told a story to the group that he once surprised even himself ago by winning first place at a Brown Derby Town Contest in Dallas, Texas, during a football coach convention.
Here's perhaps the most frightening Bluffton post card of all time. The identification line on the right reads: The burning oil tanks Bluffton Ohio (publishinged by Sidney Hauenstein).
Sorry to say, we know nothing about this fire. The message side of the card does not clearly show the postmarked year. The message has nothing to do with the fire. It reads: Have forwarded box of fresh prunes from Santa Rosa, Ca. for yourself from Gwendolyn Lenore and Mary (?).
My husband and I have noticed lately that a lot of people seem to be using Maple Grove Cemetary as a dog park. There have been several instances where we have gone out there and have seen people walking their dogs or just letting them run freely.
We have also witnessed someone letting their dog run around urinating on headstones while the owner just walked around talking on their cell phone.
