Coral Shores High School.

He also holds the honor of the best Halloween haunted house in the Keys and any donations to his "project" go to scholarships to the kids.

And I've driven those many a day...

Always was a joy to hit the Keys. Liked to take Card Sound Road and stop at that bar...forgot the name dang it! But I loved the toll booth with the welcome sign to the Keys.

Sigh.

Lived in Key Largo for quite a few years. Left when everything started to get very commercialized. MH parks and campgrounds were being sold to bypass ROGO, totally different than when the T-shirts were printed with SAVE THE BALES.

Tavernier; When passing thru, did the old timers frequently ask," Is there a tavern here?"

Congrats to your family, a wonderful award.

my wife was once selected teacher-of-the-year for her school in Seminole County - I realize what an honor it is.
