NEWS SOME OF OUR INTERESTING EVENTS AT BEACH ISLAND RESORT THIS
YEAR
July 29, 2005: Just what we needed a long
hot summer
Everyone is getting such a nice tan. The launch of the
shuttle Discovery on July 26, 2005, was a special treat. Everyone this week has
been excited over a Bald Eagle hanging out around the resort. The Ocean and pool
are a bit warm 82º + but still being enjoyed. It seems like surfing gets more
popular everyday. It is really fun seeing the young kids that are learning. They
can talk a mile a minute explaining how they did.
Speaking of the young ones. One of the great benefits of being here at Beach
Island Resort is the return of the same families each year, as I stated last
month. This year while the Icardi's were here Judy told me their daughter
Crystal was entered into the " National
American Miss" 2005 Miss Florida Pre Teen.

June 10, 2005: One of the wonderful
parts of my life is the return each year of the regulars. I was talking with Mr.
Beck who has been coming to Beach Island since about 1981 <I think> long before
my arrival in 1992. He was saying they would not be able to make it this year.
His grandson is a quarterback on a major college football team and The Beck's
plan on going to all of his grandsons games. Anyway!!!!! While talking with Mr.
Beck he told me a story of their 50th wedding anniversary that made my eyes
water and my heart swell. It was so Beach Island that I ask if he would put it
to script and mail me a copy to post here. He obliged.

On the bright side.
One of the most pleasant benefits
of my job is meeting people. It is fun when people come in from other
countries. From the west side to the east side of Canada. From England,
Germany, Denmark & Sweden just to mention a few. It is really exciting
when we get to host someone from a country you have not had before. Like
2 years ago we had guests from Japan for the first time in my 13 years
here. Well the week before Hurricane Frances we had a guest, Anneli
Lill, from ESTONIA. That was not only a first but I still haven't looked
up exactly where it is. I will do that soon though. Come back again
Anneli and bring some of your countrymen back. Found it www.estonica.org/ |
- On Feb. 14 , 1996. we had a 50 foot whale play for about 2 hrs in front
of our resort . It was only about 300 feet off shore. Surfers went right
up to it and stayed with it tell the coast guard came and run them off.
It was about 50 ft. long and had a baby swimming with it. When it finely
left, heading south, it had 5 or 6 dolphin surrounding it and it looked
like they were escorting it away. I took some pictures, hope they turn
out.
- JULY 1, 1996. Yesterday afternoon Air Force One flew over Beach Island
after taking off from Patrick Air Force Base. I tried looking in the window
but could not see the President Clinton.....July 7th 1996...This has been
a good week for us at Beach Island Resort. We had a beautiful sunset launching
of a Titan Rocket Tuesday night. We are set for a Delta 2 Rocket launch.
The window is 9:11 PM to 9:38 PM EST next Wednesday .The U.S. Olympic Torch
went pass in front of our resort this morning at 11:15 AM EST on its way
to the Space Center. All of our guests were out to cheer them on. .........

- August 21, 1996 1:30 PM EST Today is beautiful, again, Fran is out working
on her tan. She has been finding a lot of Tiny Sand Dollars on the beach.
We have been getting a lot of different shells lately and she really enjoys
collecting them. This has been a very good week here. My Egyptian Friends
Michel Morcos and Family visiting us from Toronto Canada are still here,
Hers a picture of their eldest daughter Christine Morcos, talking with
Fran..... Ann and Gil Thompson are here also. With oh so many pleasant
people it's hard to get any work done. We also have RCI Exchange Guests

Russia. Hers a photo of two of their sons on there way to load their car.

- Steven of Persian Decent is renting for a few weeks while he is working
at the space center as a consultant for their software. We are quite the
International Vacation Resort. Last week we had three units of Guests from
France.
- August 30, 1996 9:30 PM EST Today was overcast but some sunny. The
surfers were out in full force enjoying waves as high as 10 ft. It has
settled down to 5 to 8 ft. now. ......The temperature is still in the low
90&s Tan index around 6 on a scale of 1- 10 A little low for this
time of year. Hurricane Edouard has past us and Hurricane Fran is slowing
down. It looks like all they are going to leave us are BIG WAVES.
