INTRODUCTION

Bluffton, Ohio is a place and a people. It is institutions, governmental and nongovernmental systems, and it is home. People form families, find work and livelihood here, build and operate businesses, educate and care for children, develop values, provide goods and services. It is a home away from home for university students, and it is the choice of many to retire here.
