Todd Gratz, formerly of Bluffton, - brother of Kevin Gratz - and former editor of the Bluffton News read our story about Henry Huber and "knee high by the Fourth of July." (Click here to read that story.)

He took one of the iconic photos of Farmer Huber in 1972 and sent us a copy from his personal collection.

Thanks Todd.

We continue our series of photos of flowers blooming in the Ada railroad depot park. You can't miss the park. It's on Ada's Main Street and is worth the trip from Bluffton. Stop and smell the bee balm (featured today). Also, pause and admire the dianthus, gallarda, scabiosa, speedwell and lots of day lillies. Watch for more flowers to smell all week. These flowers are also featured on the Ada Icon this week.
