Maple Crest residents were royally surprised at their 2013 Valentine gala to learn there was a tie for the honored position of Valentine king and queen.
Ernest and Naomi Bosse and Carl and Claralice Wolf were the elected couples this year, becoming the second king and queen tie since the Valentine tradition began at Maple Crest 10 years ago.
This week The Icon talks with four more Bluffton third graders. They are Landyn Fleharty (Mrs. Raeburn’s class), Ethan Bogart (Mr. Armstrong’s class), Maeve Donaldson (Mrs. Bogart’s class), and Caleb Mckenzie (Mrs. Kingsley’s class).
Jamil, what year did you graduate from Bluffton High School? Can you share some memories you have of school or growing up in Bluffton?
I graduated in 1995 from BHS. What I remember most is the fantastic teachers we had. It seemed all of them truly had a passion for teaching and wanted to make a difference. Mr. Brown was especially entertaining and engaging with his experiments.
Kathryn Van Dyke of Bluffton just made history – she is the first Maple Crest resident to celebrate her 100th birthday while living at Maple Crest.
On Feb. 3, 2013, Kathryn turned 100 and celebrated with her family. The photo of Kathryn was taken during the Maple Crest monthly birthday party held on Feb. 8.
Kathryn was the seventh of 11 children. She seems to have been born with the family gene for long life. Her mother lived into her 90s, and her two living sisters are 93 and 106 (Elva Huffman).
