A community that stays in touch with its past has great prospects for the future

Lynn Taylor had a nice write-up in The Gabber about the celebration at Island Fest this year, marking the 60th anniversary of the City of St. Pete Beach and the 100th anniversary of the building in Pass-a-Grille that houses the Gulf Beaches Historical Museum. That's a picture of Pete Mickunas in front of the museum building that once served as a church and later as a private home. It's important for a community to stay in touch with its roots, and we're more than pleased to see that happening in Pass-a-Grille. Grow old with me, poet Robert Browning said. The best is yet to be.
