In the Dark Ages when verbs were conjugated using white chalk on school blackboards and sentences still diagrammed, there lived a teacher named Evelyn Luginbuhl.
I recently read in the Bluffton Senior Citizens January newsletter that she is turning 90 and will receive a life membership to the Senior Citizens Association.
Matt McCoy is a mathematics major at Bluffton University, but the sophomore from Archbold, Ohio, has several other academic interests, too.
In November, he had an opportunity to explore one of them on a level “most undergraduates don’t get to see,” according to Dr. Stephen Harnish, a professor and chair of math at Bluffton.
McCoy accompanied Harnish to SC12, an international supercomputing conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. And while he attended presentations, hands-on workshops and tutorials there, he was much more than a passive observer, Harnish noted.
Joshua Woodruff says he looks at life differently after completing a two-year mission project in Nicaragua with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
“I see people differently now,” he explains. “We are all children of the same God. Now I see the divine potential in people. I’ve learned what people can become.”
His two-year experience came after he accepted a mission call from his church. While a senior at Bluffton High School in 2009-10 he began filling out application forms through the church and before he graduated knew that he would be going to Nicaragua.
When was the last time you saw a red caboose in Bluffton? This one is part of the current Bluffton Public Library display case exhibit. It shows selections from Fred Steiner's railroad collection, which includes model trains and memoribilia from rail, past and and present of Bluffton. Click for a video.
