You're a 2004 graduate of BHS, correct? Share a bit about growing up in Bluffton.
Yes, graduated from BHS in 2004. I had a lot of fun in school, and was in
all kinds of activities - choir, band, show choir, jazz band, Latin club,
math club, etc. I also really enjoyed Campus Life. I was often just really
goofy with my friends!
Tell me what you did after high school. College? Graduate school?

Mennonite Memorial Home held its annual ice cream social for family, friends and resident last week where everyone was transported away to a distant island.
The theme was Hawaiian and the music and decorations helped turn the chapel into a fresh, brightly-colored island experience.
Participants were carried away to a warmer climate where they enjoyed several flavors of ice cream and toppings. Over 70 people attended.
The residents and staff at the Mennonite Memorial Home paid tribute this last week to the ever-stylish tradition of wearing hats. A nod was given towards the Royal Wedding and also to the upcoming Kentucky Derby, two events where hats are a must.
Many of the residents enjoyed picking out and modeling different types of hat, bonnets, caps and fedora's for each other. A short program was given talking about the traditions of hats. Staff also got into the spirit and sported hats throughout the day.
