PRODUCERS OF THE YEAR Bette and Sal Gallo, cherished gifts to jazz fest, the community veryone associated with the Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival Evalues and appreciates the generous support of Bette & Sal Gallo. As major sponsors of what is now a nationally recognized event, these two entrepreneurs have been a cherished gift not only to the festival, but to our community as well. So please join us in celebrating the 2016 Jazz Fest Pro- ducers of the Year, Bette & Sal Gallo! Sal and Bette founded what is now Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Gallo Realty in 1979. The husband and wife team opened their first office on Coastal Highway between Lewes and Rehoboth, and it wasn’t long before they opened their second office on Christian Street in Rehoboth Beach. The company has grown steadily, expanding to over 120 agents and staff in their current, larger offices in Re- hoboth, Lewes and Bethany Beach. Married for over 56 years, Bette and Sal are proud of their four children, Lee Ann Wilkinson, Realtor; Steve Gallo, engineer; Tricia Ratner, mar- keting & public relations, and Maria Gallo, teacher. The Gallos and their children were born in Norristown, PA, and spent summers here at the beach before moving to Lewes permanently in 1974. In 1995, Bette was asked to be a member of the board of directors of Rehoboth Beach Main Street, Inc., retaining an active board membership until 2009. Always the entrepreneur, she was a prime mover in convincing business owners to upgrade their out- door signage to enhance the appear- ance of Rehoboth Beach. The Gallos have always been forces in the Cape Region business com- munity. Starting in 1973, Bette and Sal broke ground on many levels. They became the first to introduce sub- marine sandwiches to the Rehoboth foodscape when they opened Yellow Submarine in the downtown Rehoboth RON MACARTHUR PHOTO Continued on page 23 BETTE AND SAL GALLO have always been forces in the Cape Region business community.

In 1978 he became the group’s primary lead vocalist, leaving L.T.D. in 1980 to start a solo career.

In 1985, he wrote the lyrics to Whitney Hous- ton’s “All at Once” and in the same year appeared on USA for Africa’s fun- draising single, “We Are the World”.
