They’re just amazing.” Operation Open Arms Bunch also offered praise for other Sanibel and Captiva businesses, including the management and staff at Tween Waters Inn, The Green Flash and Sandy Stilwell, for providing gift certificates to her restaurants. According to Gen. Milley, Bunch is so humble and so focused that he once declined an invitation of personal thanks from former President George Bush. “Why did he turn it down? He did it to take a soldier on a free charter to go fishing,” Milley said. “He didn’t want to break his date with a soldier to have a date with the president of the United States. He made his commitment to that sergeant six months prior, and he kept his commitment.” After receiving the award two weeks ago, Bunch - who was also interviewed for a feature segment on NBC’s Today Show - reiterated his gratitude for all of the support OOA has received over the years. “Everyone associated with OOA deserves this great honor... the Jensen brothers, Tween Waters Inn and the list goes on and on,” said Bunch. “Southwest Horida has the most generous and gracious people in the United States. OOA did one thing and we did it very well. We put the ‘fort’ back into Fort Myers. Those returning from combat or foreign duty service love our area. Anyone who has ever been here understands why. It is people. It is the spirit of our community.” A 501(c)3 public charity, tax-deductible donations for Operation Open Arms may be made online at www.operationopenarms.org.

This reporter had prepared to write this week’s column on the amazing sprint to postseason play by the Boston Red Sox with the baseball’s season-best 11 straight wins. But those thoughts changed quickly. By the time you read this column, millions of words will have been written and spoken about these two iconic men who, despite all the negativity often attached to some athletes, had shown the bright and positive side of professional sports. Both Fernandez and Palmer were heroes. Palmer changed the face of golf. He introduced the game to millions just as television was coming into its own. He proved the game was not just for the wealthy country club set, but for the common men and w om e n. And closer to home - less than 100 miles from here - Fernandez, with that infatuating smile, was not only a loving and talented pitcher, but a hero in his own right. Fernandez and his family made three unsuccessful attempts to flee his native Cuba, each resulting in prison stays before his fourth try in 2008 was successful despite their tiny escape boat being sprayed with bullets. Then just a teenager, he leaped into the dark waters to rescue his mother who had been swept overboard. Back row, from left, 10K Race 4 FISH Committee Members Pete and Nancy Bender and Doc His death in a boating accident off Miami Beach early last Sunday brought his life to Ford’s chef Phillip Schroeder; middle row, from left, manager Katy Forret, manager Elizabeth an end far too early - too early to baseball, too early to his family and too early to the Filbrandt, manager Donna Butz, owner Mark Marinello, owner Marty Harrity; front row, from tight-knit Cuban community in Miami. left, 1 OK committee member John Pryor, Doc Ford’s owner Brenda Harrity, general manager Although separated in age by decades, Fernandez and Palmer shared many loving Kim McGonnell and 10K committee member Ed Ridlehoover photo courtesy FISH similarities. Their smiles, their friendliness, their warmth, their charisma, their ability to connect with whomever they met - that was common to them both. D oc Ford's Supports FISH As Fernandez’s future was ahead of him; Palmer’s behind him. Born into near poverty, Palmer blazed onto the links winning seven majors, 90 tournaments worldwide and building a financial empire that included sporting equipment, cars, clothing, insurance, Sponsor; Staff Teams Up For Race soft drinks, hardware products and even cigarettes in his earlier days.
