I was pleasantly surprised last week by a visit from H.B. and Dian Thommason of Alvin. It was their first visit to Port O’Connor in four or five years. They really haven’t changed a bit – in looks or in demeanor. As some of you know, H.B. is the brother of Dolphin Talk founder Margaret Jennings and was instrumental in keeping this publication alive after Margaret’s passing. The Thommason’s drove down from Alvin to bring my husband Johnny a couple of chairs for his used furniture shop. They stayed at the American Inn (formerly the Tarpon) and were very impressed with the top-quality renovations that have been made there. It was great to see you, H.B. and Dian!

This past Saturday, I was pleased to participate in the benefit for the Jerry Nutt Estate. Lots of folks worked very hard to make this a successful event, and I believe Joyce Jordan deserves much of the credit. She worked tirelessly to put it all together and even managed to give us a report in time for this issue. I really enjoyed the auction; Calvin Ragusin did a great job as auctioneer. I am so proud to live in a community where people care so much about their neighbors and are always willing to lend a hand.

Thank you for reading Dolphin Talk.
