Winter Visitors to the Keys

Sid and Rick at the Navy Beach.

January, and especially February was a time for a reunion of Navy friends. Our first visitor was Sid Mohsberg, who we last saw in Annapolis in October. He flew down for a long weekend to tour Key West with us. Showing off our town and seeing old friends is high on our list of pleasures. The Hutchins, are staying until early March at the Sigsbee RV park and in late February, the Peters and Gunns arrived. We shared two tours with each of them, but became closer after retirement and have seen each other throughout the years, although it has been 11 years since we were all together in one place. The Peters stayed for a week. We had some new firsts, a female impersonator show with Randy Roberts, who did a fabulous Cher and a Bette Midler and a persona of his own. The show was great fun! We also made our first trip to Bajia Honda State park, with the key's loveliest beache. And, we shared many fun meals full of conversations and renewals of friendship. The Peters joined us on our second wreckers race too.

At LaTe Dah with the Hutchins and Peters.

Lunch at Sunset Key.

Later in the week, we were joined by Kit and Tom Gunn, who made our Bremerton, Washington Navy friends reunion complete.

Later we had friends Dave and Carol Elliot and Jim and Barb Unsen, a Navy reunion group from our Port Hueneme your, visit. Great fun to see everyone again!
