I mainly posted that for You Bart. I'm sure that some of the crew are still in Key West. A really great cocktail waitress was a girl named Beverly Sampson, a southern belle from Jackson Mississippi. She also workednat Jordan's Cafe on Duval. My friend Skip, a Blackjack dealer, also was a co-owner in a store, Bikini Village. I'm sure that Skip is still there. The story was that he and his friend and partner in an old fishing boat were out fishing, and found a particularly valuable bale filled with certain products floating out in the Gulf. The proceeds allowed them to upgrade their boat, and buy Bikini Village. Key West is and was a world unto itself. Hey Bart. Is Captain Tony's bar still there? If I remember right, that was the original Sloppy Joe's.

image.jpeg image.jpeg I actually found some old Silver in my yard. Here they are. Two days work, but between old beer cans and pop tabs, I found these four, Two Cubans, a 1942 Washington Quarter, and a 1911 Barber Quarter. Finding Silver is fun! Especially old silver. I did find some Wheat Pennies, and several Memorial pennies, but nothing to write home about. ZI really did want that 1943 ZCopper penny, but they were a no go.
