Back in the day, the people that stood out were the “Rainbows”. The name given to those freshly arrived to boot camp. To those yet to receive that full set of green everything; green from the skin out. To paraphrase the verse by Billy Joel; “When I wore a younger man’s clothes”.
Letter: My heartfelt thanks to everyone

My heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who supported my campaign for city commission. I very much wanted to serve the City of St. Augustine for the next four years as your commissioner and it is a great disappointment not to have achieved that goal.
