Around it the museum village of Sanibel Island’s history grew. “I also feel privileged to have toured the village a couple of times with Sam Bailey, and I use his stories a lot when talking to visitors. One humorous story is about Ruth Rutland’s ‘mood barometer’ at the front entrance. When it was vertical, she was accepting visitors; when it was horizontal, she was resting.” When asked about his life before Sanibel and the village, Strobel said, “In my former life I was manager of photography for Chrysler Corporation in Detroit. During my employment, I was a member of a committee that tried to convince the company to establish a much-needed auto- mobile museum. After 15 years, it was finally opened in 2000 after I did most of the benchmarking in the United States and Europe.” In the summers Strobel and his wife live in northern Michigan where he enjoys his two classic cars and nearby lighthouses. “We have two daughters and seven grandchildren,” he says, “who love to come to Sanibel each winter to swim, bike, play in the sand, collect shells and see what’s new in the vVillage.” And how could you get a better docent for an annual tour starting at the Rutland House than your own grandpa?

American Saints Course At Sanibel Congregational Church he Rev. John H. Danner, PhD, will offer a three-part course, American Saints: People You Should Know, at the Sanibel Congregational United TChurch of Christ in April. Throughout the history of the church, various men and women have provided examples of what it means to live Christian lives. While some faith traditions canonize certain folks – label them as saints – others simply acknowledge that certain people provide good role models. In America three such “saints” are: Sojourner Truth, Reinhold Niebuhr and Martin Luther King, Jr. • Sojourner Truth was a slave who, after her emancipation, became a very vocal spokesperson for the rights of women and people of all races. Her courage and con- viction led to many interesting stories. • Reinhold Niebuhr has been called the most important modern American theolo- gian. His writing on war and peace, in particular, has often fueled debates and conver- sations in times of crisis. • Martin Luther King, Jr. is probably the best known of the three. A prolific writer and campaigner for Civil Rights, King was first and foremost a preacher. His religious works are sometimes unknown, and provide an interesting insight into this important Pastor Daryl Donovan performs a baptism in the Gulf of Mexico figure in modern history. The American Saints course is open to the public and will be held on three con- undreds of people will gather at the Sanibel Community Church parking lot secutive Wednesdays, April 7, 14 and 21, from 10 to 11:15 a.m. in Fellowship Hall at at 6:30 a.m. to celebrate Easter.
