Though I can not pin Il down
exactly, shall never forget look
ing about and thinking 49, II love
this town with all my heart. Can
recall just walking around and feel

Couldn't get enoSgh Of looking at
the blue, blue water which always
seemed 10 greet you at the end
Of a street - gorgeous and mag
nificent flowers and plants such
as I had never seen before -
buildings whose appearance tan
talized the imagination.
One day Joan and had to do
some shopping (oh yes, even them
and we turned the wrong way on
Simonton and you can imagine
our surprise when we thought we
were heading toward the motel at
the Atlantic end, and found the
enchanting sight Of the waterfront
instead.
Then there was the time when
asked Floy how many cemeter-
les there were here and she laugh
ingly told me only one but that it
was in the middle of the town.
Howsomever, for days I always
seemed to land there regardless
of where l was going. Honestly ii
was funny and II was some time
before learned how to avoid it.
OF course, having as much Of
sense bf direction as blind mouse
-- 1t was more my fault taan ac-
tual location.
