Earlier this winter, the Icon posted a photo of twin who attended Bluffton schools in 1951. That photo is posted below.

The photo posed the question, how many twins attend Bluffton elementary this year?

The Icon put the question to Tim Closson, principal, and after a moment of thinking, he said, "I believe we have seven sets of twins!"

As a result, here's the photo of this year's twins.

Obtaining this photo was more difficult than you might think.

First, our fickle winter weather with school delays played against us.
