The book is released by The Icon and is on sale for $13.95 at Greg's Pharmacy, Bluffton Senior Citizens Center, Common Grounds, Book Reviews and the Bluffton University bookstore.
We (The Icon) didn't cause this mess. It was our individual database server. In non-technical terms, it crash landed and we went with it.
So did about 210 other sites hosted by the same server. That can only mean that there are 210 other messages being composed, at this moment, like this one, to their viewers.
Now it's back, but here's the asterisk: The last back up completed by our server company was two weeks ago.
Pssst. Want to hear a couple good Bluffton stories? The Icon's book "A Good Place To Miss - Bluffton Stories 1900-1975," is filled with lots of stories too good to miss.
We invite you to attend The Icon's second anniversary party. It's from 6:30 to 8 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 8, at Common Grounds.
You'll get a free cup of Icon coffee some other refreshments and a chance to meet The Icon team. And, if you'd like to go home with some interesting Bluffton reading material, you may buy a copy of "A Good Place To Miss."
