Here's another photo gem taken by Paul Diller. The man in the photograph is Gideon Burkholder in a familar cane and straw hat pose. The Icon appreciates any other information from viewers about Mr. Burkholder.
Here's a popular Bluffton couple taken at least 1 year ago. Just kidding. Paul Diller took this photo of Darvin and Evelyn Luginbuhl when? At their wedding? At a Bluffton College May Day? Let's ask Darvin or Evelyn, or Gregg for the answer.
How many Icon viewers had either of these two as a teacher?
Gene Benroth, also known as "Mr. Bluffton" was apparently fishing at the Buckeye when along came Paul Diller, who snapped his photo. This is a color slide from the collection of Jim Diller. Our best guess on a date is the mid-1970s,
Here's former Bluffton sixth grade teacher, Bob Stratton, with his daughter, Barb. Paul Diller took this color slide photo, we are guessing in the late 1950s. Any Icon Viewer with more information, please contact us. We'd love to hear from Barb, too. (From the Jim Diller collection)
Three Bluffton classics: Dean Sommers on the left, Dean Niswander on the right, standing in front of a classic Bluffton vehicle. We hope that an Icon viewer can provide a proper explanation and year to this photo taken by Paul Diller. Jim Diller provided The Icon with the photo.
The location: the Little Riley, just south of Columbus Grove Road.
The event: ice skating in the winter.
The skaters: Dr. B.W. Travis (left) and Ropp Triplett (right)
If we could get a better view of the cars parked along Grove Road we could nail down a year. Jim Diller provided this photo taken by his father, Paul Diller.
Our guess on the year: late 1950s. How many Icon viewers fell in the ice at this spot?
