Becoming property owners in St. Augustine almost twenty years ago, and having some mobility difficulties, we just wish to contribute our written opinion to Rev. Rawls’ demands.
When Chairman Jack Peter calls the next regular meeting of the St Johns County Tourist Development Council to order at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, August 28th, Historic City News will be paying close attention to Item 9 on the agenda, an item listed with no backup documents provided.
Historic City News learned that a 21-year-old single father in Baymeadows is battling stage-3 testicular cancer. We found his story, his commitment, and his outlook compelling; if you consider that he has already lost one testicle and undergone two invasive surgeries at the precipice of adulthood.
Historic City News readers, Herbert Greenleaf and his wife Sheila, native St Augustinians, are considered local historians. In 2013, Sheila and Friends of South Dixie Highway won approval from the City for a marker to be erected beside the 100-year-old Albert Lewis Trough; located at 92 South Dixie Highway. And, Herbie is known for his “History of the Confederate Monument”, printed and distributed by the General William W. Loring Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Special to Historic City News
My husband and I moved to Saint Augustine in January 2013 from Atlanta to be closer to family. We are educators and have a young daughter. We were excited to be near the beach and Disney World.
