On the 15th anniversary of the Bluffton University baseball team’s bus accident, more than 100 members of the Bluffton University community gathered to remember and reflect on the events of March 2, 2007, and the lives lost in Atlanta, Ga.
The ceremony was held at Bluffton’s Circle of Remembrance with President Jane Wood welcoming guests.
“I have heard so much about the special bond held by the team of 2007,” said President Wood. “The impact of that bond is still felt today. The spirits of David, Scott, Cody, Tyler and Zachary are still with us today.”

Asiago Cheddar: A savory choice, Asiago Cheddar bread combines the richness of asiago and cheddar cheeses with a hint of buttermilk. Literally packed to the brim with cheese, this loaf is surrounded by a crust of parmesan and cheddar. Sprinkled with a dash of cayenne, this bread is not too spicy, but instead will be a showstopper at any event.
