Share some of your favorite memories of growing up in Bluffton -- favorite teachers, stories about school and/or extra-curricular stuff.
There are so many, I would say some of my early favorite memories were hanging out with Sarah and Heidi Thomsen at the creek across from our house and playing all sorts of imagination games - we had quite the active imaginations.
My wife and our two sons had the opportunity this summer to interview Frank Buckles at his home near Charles Town, W.V. Mr. Buckles lives on the extreme eastern panhandle of West Virginia, and at age 108, is the last known U. S. veteran of World War I.
Two outstanding young alumni, Cara Young Davies of Bluffton, along with Anietra Hamper were honored for their career excellence Nov. 9 at Heidelberg University, Tiffin.
In turn, both expressed their appreciation for their Heidelberg experience and for professors who positively influenced each of their lives.
Davies, a 1996 graduate, and Hamper, class of '95, are the 2009 recipients of Heidelberg's Young Alumni Achievement Awards.
