You were born in Maple Heights, correct? Where exactly is that?
Maple Hts. is a suburb of Cleveland on the SE side. Probably best known for its wrestling state titles under coach Milkovich. However,over the past few years it has become a football success.
When did you move to Bluffton? Were you and your husband, Bob, hired by BHS and BU, respectively, at the same time?
The Icon spotted this plate on Cherry Street in January. The plate is from Cuyahoga County. Maybe the driver stopped in for a cup of coffee at Common Grounds. Any thoughts on the meaning of the plate?
Just when you think you know everything there is to know about Bluffton, a photograph like this shows up.
Can you identify what's going on here?
This is a photograph of the "floating" pool that once served swimmers in Bluffton. It was constructed on the east bank of the Buckeye and then was moved to the quarry where it floated and allowed swimming.
Older Icon viewers with splinters in their behinds may be able to put a date on this photo. It's probably the mid-1940s.
We're all going fishing for Tom Augsburger this year. The Bluffton Sportmen's Club honored Augsburger as the number one tagged trout for the 2012 trout derby set for Sunday, May 6, at Buckeye park.
"Ole Augie" honors Augsburger, who has served as the club president for over 22 years. Tom is part of the first "father-son" team to share the number one trout honor. Tom's father, Ralph, was recognized by the club when it named the number one trout in his honor in 1983.

Helen James Minck was one of those individuals. When Helen died on Christmas Eve, I felt saddened that I'd never get to hear more of her stories, to hear her laugh. Yet her face and voice are so clear, so present.
