Guscio: Son of Blufftonian helps the movies flower and grow green

Lieutenant this month. Joey will celebrate this wonderful event on a cruise to the Honduras , Belize and Cozumel. After the holidays he is off to Fort Sill , Okla., for officer training. I know all of his family is very proud of him and we wish him well . THAT NEW ORLEANS SOUND I love jazz and if you have ever been to New Orleans, you have heard the best of it. At the end of the Spanish American War in 1898, the troops were sent home and New Orleans is where many landed. There was no use at the time for instruments that had been used in bands so they were discarded. So began the big band jazz era in that city. People picked up instruments and taught themselves how to play. The tunes they came up with was the start of some fabulous music. 'GOOD LUCK, JEFF' Jeff Fulgham has resigned as executive director of the Bluffton Historical Preservation Society. He brought many new members to the society and helped re-energize the group. He is now working on a book about Henry Woodward the first English settler in South Carolina. We should all thank him for his love of Bluffton and his caring about our town. Good luck Jeff. MERRY CHRISTMAS! Merry Christmas everybody. I hope you have a lovely holiday with your family and friends. Don't forget to let the dog in.
