Chris Purves in the trees

By Mary Pannabecker Steiner

Christine Purves began climbing trees as a child growing up in Berne, Ind., first in her grandfather's back yard where a huge elm "branched out with perfect places to sit and view the area surrounding it."

Later, when her parents bought their first home, a big mulberry tree proved to be the perfect place for Purves to escape to sit and read, "all the while being very careful not to go back into the house full of mulberry stains."

It will be a Bluffton parade-watcher's dream on Saturday.

Over 60 are registered. That translates to a 40+ minute parade.
