As viewers of the Et Cetera Shop Facebook page recently learned (video HERE), volunteer Tim Byers has transformed the back entrance of the 327 N. Main thrift shop with the creation of a Volunteers Garden. Byers took a space that was bare gravel and filled it with several truck loads of compost and donated plants. "We had a ball with it. It's growing like crazy," he explains. Stay tuned for fall and winter displays as well.

The day after Labor Day 1985, a mere 40 years ago, I began my solo optometric practice in Bluffton. Boyd W. Travis, M.D., a physician, was most gracious to offer me the privilege to have a room in his office, located at 122 N Jackson St, across from the elementary school. Unfortunately, I do not have any photos from that era nor of Dr. Travis.
