The Bluffton Scrap Artist Quilters (BSAQ) are delivering 48 home-made quilts to area veterans on Veterans Day, Monday, Nov. 11. The club will visit veterans in Birchaven, Hilty Home, Mennonite Memorial Home, and Maple Crest to present the quilts.

BSAQ has been making twin-size quilts for veterans for 12 years, focusing on Ohio veterans for the last five years.

"We keep up with all the local institutions so all of our local vets have a quilt," said club member, Pat Rodabaugh.

Neither soccer great claim to have been carded while in high school, but their soccer-playing tenacity while at BHS is legendary. (Brother, Ben Gundy, perhaps, was carded ocassionally. That's a different story altogether.)
