  • Anna B's Owner, a Short Story by Judith Mercado
    Home Anna B's Owner Winter/Spring by Judith Mercado 2011 “I hear your brother’s living on a boat in the Florida Keys.” Autumn/Winter 2011 I stared at this childhood friend, in town for a short visit, who had no idea what he had just done. Finally, I heard myself say, “Really? Where in the Florida Keys?” Summer 2010 “I don't know where exactly.” He squinted. “It's not Key West or I think I'd Spring 2010 remember. Not Key Largo either . .” Winter 2010 Please don’t remember, Bob. Autumn 2009 I worked at keeping my face placid. If Bob thought my interest was trivial, he might not try so hard to remember, and there was still hope for my ordered life. Summer 2009 Spring 2009 “Marathon,” he said finally. “That's it. That’s where he is.” Autumn 2008 I smiled stiffly. Marathon. A tangible destination that made my brother come alive again. Summer 2008 It had been six years since I heard one of those bits and pieces about my Spring/Summer peripatetic brother Dan that occasionally came my way. Like how he went out to 2008 New Mexico and ran a trailer park outside Chimayó for a while. Another time, someone said he was tending a gas station in Amarillo. No one ever talked about Winter/Spring his photography, whose artistry had once been so promising. No one mentioned 2008 anything about promise at all. Editor's Note I didn’t ask about it now. I had caught my second wind and regained some of the serenity I spent twenty-one years cultivating.

Also spotted farther afield in Key West and the Dry Tortugas, Marathon, Bimini and Eleuthera. Commodore’s Corner Submitted by Lee Nell, 2017 Commodore 2017 Flag Officers Calling all volunteers. I know you guys are probably tired of all my cries Commodore for more volunteers for this club. So if you want to stop me, just step Lee Nell forward and take over a task — I’ll stop. Seriously, though, this club is run by volunteers, many of whom handle multiple tasks throughout Vice Commodore the year. And many of those folks are weary and would appreciate help Bill Morse from other members. I know some of you members – some newer ones, Rear Commodore some longer-term – would like to help out but are not sure whether you would be welcome or how to sign up. Trust me, your assistance Rick Martin would be greatly welcomed. We will see that you have all the support Secretary you need, and we’d love for you to bring your own perspectives to the Linda Bagby project. Look in the Directory for contact information for your Board, and just let one of us know you might be interested. Treasurer Michael Oertle As I said last month, a good way to get started would be getting involved in planning for BCYC’s entry in the Gulfport July 4th parade. Assistant Treasurer Contact Barb Meyer or Lisa Glaser. Or me. The Fourth of July parade is Ray Weber always a great time, for us and for the City.
