On July 1, retired Bluffton University math professor, Luther Shetler will have time to ponder the number 100 and all its meanings.
He was born July 1, 1917.
Originally from Indiana where he grew up on a dairy farm, Luther accepted a math teaching position at Bluffton College in 1950. He and his wife, Geneva, brought their family to Bluffton where he taught countless students in his academic discipline for 34 years, retiring in 1984.
Kathleen Mikkelsen has a special birthday next week.
And, her only regret is that her twin sister, Geraldine, who died a few years ago, isn’t here to celebrate it with her.
On July 3, Kathleen, a Mennonite Memorial home resident, turns 100.
She grew up on South Main Street Bluffton and graduated in the BHS class of 1935. The class had 75 members. Although in 1939 she married and moved from Bluffton, she never left home.
