The Homefront column is designed to inform our members where in the community our new residents are living and other residences they may have. It also keeps up with our present members who have stayed in the community but moved to new dwellings. Of course we always wish our members who are moving out of the community good luck wherever their travels take them and our new members and established members good luck in their new address. We welcome PATRICIA and ANTHONY LAMPERT who purchased a home on Rhone Drive. They will be full time residents. We welcome BETH and ALAN SINGER who purchased the Woolman home on Degas Drive East. They also have residences in New York and Chicago, Illinois.

MAXINE and ROBERT CARSON bought the Dlesk home on Monet Drive.

January Excursion by Mimi Bergel The Frenchman’s Creek Excursion on Wednesday, January 19, was to the Elliot Museum and the House of Refuge , both in Stuart, and both extremely interesting places to visit. The Eilliot Museum , which is known mainly for a magnificent display and history of antique cars, has much more to offer. An excellent guided tour provided information on the beginning of bicycles— developing into the first automobiles, which resembled bicycles—and their evolution through the years—with models from every stage. More than fifty vehicles were available to view. In addition there were: a beautiful art display; a display of baseball memorabilia, including signed baseballs and cards, including one by our very own Gil Hodges’ father; old time store displays, including an apothecary shop, barber shop and ice cream soda fountain; area archaeological artifacts; early aircraft and boats; and a fantastic 300 plus piece miniature model circus — among other interesting displays. After lunch at The Dolphin Bar & Shrimp House , another historically interesting site, the excursion concluded with a visit to the House of Refuge, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1974. Built along the coast in 1875, is the only one remaining of ten original houses which, with a keeper and his family in residence, were life saving services for post -storm shipwreck victims. It is a fascinating place.

The excursion was quite educational as well as enjoyable. Thanks to the Marketing Department for again arranging a lovely day.
