Bluffton Eagle Scout candidate Misha Groman is currently leading his Eagle Scout project at the Benroth Bridge located over Marsh Run near the Buckeye.

He has already had a few work sessions, including one eariler this week when he re-stained and sealed the bridge.

His next work session will be on Saturday. So far, much of the bridge has been power-washed. Graffiti has already been removed. 

In addition, the weeds have been pulled from the stones in the waterway between the Benroth Bridge and the red bridge north to the north.

On July 4, 1936, 79 years ago, Anna Bogart went on a car ride that would change her life.

Today, Anna is a resident at Hilty Home in Pandora, the town where she was born. Before returning to Pandora, she made a life for herself as a nurse, was married and raised two daughters. 

But many of her most cherished memories can be traced back to that single July night when she went on her first date with Gordon Bogart. 

Two weeks ago  Anna was invited by a Hilty Home staff member to enjoy the cruise-In taking place in the Hilty Home  front parking lot.
