Dr. Perry Buffie, Trustee

Dr. Perry Buffie is a life-long resident of Rockford, and owns and operates a chiropractic clinic there with his wife Kimberly.  Perry’s connection with the AFS House began when, as a teenager, he was hired by Meda Stork to mow the lawn and do odd-jobs around the property.  Of course, the real pay came in the form of time spent with Mrs. Stork and learning about the history of the house and of the area.

Jeff Nute, Trustee

A Greenfield resident for 20 years, Jeff enjoys the outdoors and getting his hand dirty landscaping for the last 28 years. A minor in History might finally be used during his time on the board.
