Interview and photos by Emily Ulrey
 
Living in a small town enables one to know and interact with lots of people, directly or indirectly.

Although I always felt I knew a lot of people here, I’ve come to appreciate the history of this town and realize that I have more to learn about Bluffton’s history.

My most recent interview took me to the Diller Law Office, where I met local attorney and long-time Bluffton resident, Sam Diller. He is a man of many stories and a vast knowledge of Bluffton, so I was glad to get the chance to meet with him.
