An afternoon of remembering with Lois Kreider - founding mother of Et Cetera Shop
Former Bluffton resident, Lois Kreider, who wore many hats when she lived in Bluffton, was in town earlier this week.
She was a guest at the volunteer banquet for the Et Cetera Shop and also, with three of her daughters, met with several Bluffton aquaintances in the town hall for an afternoon of remembering.
Once upon a time, her Bluffton activities, apart from serving as First Lady of Bluffton College, during the presidency of her husband, Robert, included being a Girl Scout leader and the person behind the launch of the Et Cetera Shop.
The video includes her retelling of how the Et Cetera Shop was started.
