Letter: Lifesaving work by Bluffton Safety Services

A letter in support of the proposed Municipal Income Tax for the Village of Bluffton for raising revenue for the capital needs and operations of the Safety Services Departments.

Mother’s Day 2023 was a beautiful day. We were just returning from spending time with my mother and I asked Dan to drop me off at Bluffton University’s football field.  My cousin’s son was playing soccer there (yes, on Mother’s Day!), and I was determined not to miss a game that was so close to our home.  After the game, my cousin’s husband offered to drop me off at home. I refused as it was a short walk and sunny. As I walked up our road, I could see our neighbor Dan Gray sitting outside. Their white home seemed to highlight his red shirt to me. ▶︎

Letter: Thoughts about my old neighbor, Bob Wilch

By Fred Steiner

We didn’t know how lucky we were.

No. In my adolescent years, the kids in my Lawn Avenue-Elm Street neighborhood did not know how lucky we were. That’s because Bob Wilch, an adult, but a kid at heart, lived in our neighborhood.

Trust me, he was the friendliest adult to kids – outside of our parents – who you could imagine. I thought about him recently when I read his obituary on The Icon.
