Jason Rhodes, a member of the Bluffton Police Department for the past four years, was recently sworn in as a member of the Lima Police Department. Rhodes is a Bluffton High School graduate a he attended Rhodes State College.
You went to high school and college in Toledo, correct? When did you graduate? Were you born and raised in Toledo? Do you still have family members living there?
When did you graduate from Bluffton High School? Did you also attend Bluffton College? What was your major?
I graduated from BHS in 1990. I attended OSU Lima my first year, then OSU Columbus my second year and when I finally decided what to major in (elementary education), I inquired with Bluffton College about transferring there and found out I could graduate in 2 years there vs staying at OSU where it would take me 3 more years. So, I did graduate from Bluffton College in 1994.

In keeping with the art theme, each resident and staff person was encouraged to bring along something the person created during any era of his or her life.
The variety of items presented that afternoon was amazing, and the party participants thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to recognize the skills and talents of fellow residents and co-workers.
