Have you ever noticed how there is always a long line outside the women's restroom at public events?
We wait. And wait. And wait...while the men zip in and out of their own, with nary a line in sight.
Of course, men translate this to mean that we women are taking our time primping. This is not true. Let's just say that the mechanics of emptying one's bladder are more time-consuming for women than for men.
Here's a classic Bluffton High School photo. It is the earliest photo of the entire student body we've ever viewed. To make it even better most of the students are identified, with some extra descriptions tossed it. We've added class graduating years, when known, based upon the graduation list in "A Good Place To Miss: Bluffton Stories 1900-1975."

Barry Schneck and I sat down for our pre-arranged interview. Then his phone rang. It was a hospital checking on some information. We started over. Then his phone rang. It was a call from the adult son of a potential resident. We started again. Then, he excused himself to make a couple follow-up calls concerning the potential resident.
Barry was in his typical, "I'm really sorry about this," mode. He was also in his element: being able to help someone with an immediate need.
