Icon fan mail from Nancy Beach Crum
Hi Fred,
I highly doubt you remember me, but I was a classmate of yours at one time. Having moved from Bluffton when I was going into the sixth grade, I have always considered Bluffton my home and think of it fondly.
My sister still lives in Bluffton as does her son's family. I just happened to stumble across the Icon on Facebook and am thoroughly enjoying the site. I make it back to Bluffton from time to time, usually on Saturday after Thanksgiving for the parade and Thanksgiving with my family.
I fall in love with Bluffton all over again every time I come back. Last summer my sisters and I went on a "Trip Down Memory Lane," taking photographs of all the places we frequently haunted as children, from the swimming pool (much different now) to the football field and Riley Creek where we used to ice skate down around the college.
So many, many great memories have stayed with me all these years and I just wanted to tell you thanks for a great place where I can visit Bluffton every day.
Sincerely,
Nancy (Beach) Crum
New Washington, OH
Icon note: Of course I remember you, as do all of the BHS class of '68 remembers you! Thanks for the note. I saw your photo on Facebook, and this letter confirmed who you were.
