Not long after Bob Reed learned in 1986 that he had AIDS, he watched 20 of his friends die from the disease as it ravaged his body and he battled to survive. Today, he feels better than he has in years.
Not long after Bob Reed learned in 1986 that he had AIDS, he watched 20 of his friends die from the disease as it ravaged his body and he battled to survive.
Today, as he sits in his Saratoga, Calif., home feeling better than he has in years, he ponders a question no one can answer.
"Why did I make it and other people didn't?" he asks. "There's a part of me that has a little bit of survivor guilt."
As the epidemic enters its fourth decade, Reed, 57, is among a growing number of people who are living with HIV or AIDS into their 50s, 60s, and beyond, surviving with a new generation of medications that have greatly increased life expectancy.
Before the mid-1990s, three-quarters of people infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, died within 10 years. Now, for those who get early diagnosis and prompt treatment, nearly normal life spans are possible.
About 1.1 million American adults and teenagers were living with HIV infection in 2009, and 17 percent of them were 55 or older, according to the latest estimate.
Still, aging with HIV has unique health challenges. Some people grapple with chronic conditions typically seen in those who are 20 years older — heart disease, bone loss and kidney damage. Others deal with premature aging of an immune system that has fought the infection for years.
And scientists are just beginning to explore the long-term effects of a complex cocktail of HIV medications, including how they interact with other drugs that aging people often take.
Despite the challenges, many who have worked with HIV-infected people for years — and seen so many die — say aging with AIDS is survival.
"This is a wonderful problem to have," said Alvan Quamina, executive director of AIDS Project East Bay.
Reed spent nearly half of his life assuming he was about to die.
He had a stroke in 1994 and now has heart disease that led doctors to install two stents in his arteries.
His toughest year came in 2005 when a painful stomach infection caused him to vomit almost daily and the 6-foot-1 former nurse's weight dramatically dropped to 130 pounds. He had a feeding tube in his chest for months.
"He spent much of the year near death," recalled Phil Hofford, his partner of 21 years. "We were pretty much making final plans a couple times during that period."
It wasn't until 2009 that a newly available medication resolved his stomach infection, "and saved my life," Reed said.
In November, he felt well enough to start working again. He now does HIV test counseling at the Billy DeFrank LGBT Community Center in San Jose, Calif., and weighs a healthy 182 pounds.
"He's coming back to life," Hofford said. "Suddenly he's waking up, like Rip Van Winkle."
Yet their home is a constant reminder of the ravages of the disease.
Its previous owner took in people who had AIDS during the early days of the epidemic. More than 20 people died in the single-story house near the San Jose border. But Reed and Hofford consider living there uplifting.
"To me, it's pretty awe-inspiring to know what was going on in that house," Hofford said. "There has been more love in that house for the people that passed on than most houses see in a lifetime."
Reed said he has no idea why he survived when so many others did not.
"Whenever my T-cells (white blood cells that help the body fight disease) were the lowest and hope was the least, a new medication would come out," he said. "I'm just one of the luckiest people I know."
Those who look at Joey Wever these days would never guess he has HIV.
The 63-year-old Oakland, Calif., resident learned he was infected in 1996, after an eye doctor noticed his eyes were damaged and asked if he had been given an AIDS test.
"I lost about 40 percent of my peripheral vision on the right side," said the former X-ray and ultrasound technician.
Wever vividly remembers driving home after testing positive and thinking he had maybe five more years.
He was bedridden for nearly a year and neuropathy damaged his hands.
But by 2000, he had improved enough to take a full-time job with the city of Berkeley, Calif., as a social worker for Meals on Wheels. He was so busy, however, that he neglected his regimen of pills every eight hours.
He developed a resistance to the medications and at 5 feet 8, watched his weight plummet from 155 pounds to 128.
"I saw my reflection on glass and I even scared myself," he said.
His doctor changed his medications and his health improved, but his life really turned around when drugs known as protease inhibitors came out.
"I feel so energetic and I'm more involved in the community," he said during a recent interview in his apartment, as his four colorful lovebirds chirped away.
Today, Wever cares for his ailing 95-year-old mother, does volunteer work with a number of health and community organizations, and is active in El Grupo, a support group for Latinos with HIV.
His good friend Faye Combs has watched his transformation. She was taken aback by how healthy he looked about a year ago.
"I said, 'Boy, you are a handsome dude,'" she said. "He had put the weight back on and he just looked great. He just doesn't give up."
To keep his infection in check, Wever takes four pills together, twice a day — a big improvement from a thrice-daily regimen that often sickened him.
The medications for those infected with HIV have greatly improved, but questions remain about the long-term effects.
"Most of the studies were initially done on much younger patients because that's who was more likely to be infected," said Dr. Michael Horberg, Kaiser Permanente's national director of HIV/AIDS.
"So we don't know how all the antiretrovirals are going to work as patients get older and have been on these meds cumulatively many more years."
The epidemic is by no means over: In 2011, nearly 50,000 new HIV infections were identified in the United States and more than 32,000 people were newly diagnosed with AIDS, according to the latest national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report.
The early aging of people with HIV may not lead to more gray hair and wrinkles, but it becomes apparent in their blood and immune systems, said Dr. Mark Holodniy, an infectious disease professor at Stanford University and director of public health surveillance for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"And even when people are on effective treatment and controlling the virus," Holodniy said, "there is still an ongoing inflammatory response in the body that seems to wreak havoc. Some of the problems that you might expect in people that are 60 or 70 years old, you're now seeing in people that are 40 or 50."

The Turn Signal — This is How to Use It, Tyler
We have all been through it. Bad driving is like a uncured plague across this city. Driving has been and probably will forever be a frustrating experience. As most of Tyler will not be getting off of the road any time soon, here is something we may all need to relearn.
Turn signals are one of the best improvements to the automobile since its invention. This nifty device is found near the wheel, for easy access, and is used when one is turning. Though this concept makes enough sense, it seems that some have yet to completely understand its function.
When entering a new lane, when turning right or left, and even when parking (parallel or in a parking lot) you will use the turn signal. This action is needed to inform those driving around you of your intentions. If you do not use your turn signal when moving your car around town, people will not know what you mean to do. When fellow drivers are unaware of what you will do next, bad things can occur. Wrecks ranging from fender benders to full-out accidents, where the car can be totaled and people may be hurt, can happen.
For the safety and stress levels of all, it must be begged of those behind the wheel that everyone use their turn signal. Proper use can prevent accidents. Always use the turn signal. Do not use it after you have turned. Do not click it after you have already begun to turn or merge lanes. Please, turn it off when not intending to turn. Also, use the correct left or right signal to coincide with the direction you will be going.
Explaining this feels close to writing the directions for how to correctly use shampoo. If you have been in the world long then this concept should come as second nature and as a give in.
Do not become one of those people that others complain about around a cup of coffee or the water cooler. And remember, drive as you would have others drive around you.

Ford may be one of the auto industry's oldest brands, but Ford Motor Co.'s global marketing chief calls it a "challenger brand in the U.S." these days.
That's why, in Jim Farley's view, Ford must use unconventional tactics to get noticed, particularly by consumers in U.S. coastal areas, who have overwhelmingly preferred import brands for decades.
To grab the attention of potential new customers, Ford and its Team Detroit agency partner ran a couple of advertising spots during the week of April 30 in which the famous blue oval and all references to Ford were deliberately obscured.
Ford said today that the commercials, part of its "Go Further" ad campaign, topped Advertising Age's Viral Video Report for the week of April 30 with nearly 3 million views. The report ranks social-media brand advertising campaigns based on the number of views. Advertising Age is a sister publication of Automotive News.
"We're aiming these ads directly at the skeptics," Farley said in a Ford blog. "These consumers have blinders up when they see a Ford logo, so we have to do something that's disruptive and unexpected from a car company if we expect to get noticed by them."
The spots directed customers to a Web site, GoFurther.com. Ford said 40 percent of the customers who clicked on GoFurther.com clicked on through to the Ford.com Web site.
California accounted for the most traffic with 9 percent, followed by New York, Texas, Florida and Pennsylvania, all states Ford says it needs to reach.
Much to Ford's surprise, customers clicked on the C-Max Hybrid more than any vehicle except the Fusion.
"The C-Max is an all-new nameplate we don't even sell in the U.S.," Farley told reporters at a briefing today. "I wouldn't have thought we'd get tens of thousands of people."
The C-Max goes on sale in the United States in the second half of the year in two versions: the C-Max Hybrid, a conventional gasoline-electric hybrid, and the C-Max Energi, a plug-in hybrid.
Before the C-Max arrives, Ford will be launching the redesigned 2013 Escape crossover this spring and the redesigned 2013 Fusion sedan, vehicles Ford hopes will play well to those coastal customers. After the F-series pickup, the Escape and Fusion were Ford's next two best sellers in 2011.
Says Matt VanDyke, head of Ford marketing communications: "We have to leverage these fabulous new products in these environments."
After a week of the unbranded commercials, Ford started a new set featuring the brand and the blue oval logo.
Go Further is on its way to becoming Ford's advertising slogan globally, replacing two earlier campaigns: "Drive One" and "Feel the Difference."
It's all part of Ford's drive to coordinate its messages in concert with the launch of a new generation of global products developed under the company's One Ford product development system.
Farley says the unbranded commercials were a chance to get coastal customers to look at the Escape, Fusion and other new cars such as the Focus ST performance hatchback and the C-Max.
This is Ford's chance to "say to customers who are the most skeptical, the ones whose preconceived notions of the brand were the most hardened, we asked them to reconsider for a week," Farley said.
As Farley knows very well, it's one thing for a customer to click on a Web site to look at some vehicles, and quite another to write a check for a new Escape or Fusion.
"It really does come down," Farley said, "to the execution of these two launches."

Congress Proposes Giving Another $10 Million To ICE To Censor More Websites For Hollywood
from the not-cool dept
Provided further, That not less than $10,000,000 shall be available for investigation of intellectual property rights violations, including the National Intellectual Property Rights CoordinationYup. At least $10 million of your hard earned dollars may be going to ICE to help them continue to be Hollywood's private police force, censoring websites without evidence. This is for just one year. You'd think with that kind of money, ICE could actually hire its own actors for the PSAs it's been putting on censored sites, rather than "pirating" a video put together by NBC Universal.

What you can do
Monitoring the right biopharmaceutical manufacturing process conditions is of the utmost importance when it comes to ensuring consistent batches.
Measurement devices are used to control the critical process parameters, making sure that the cells are growing and the desired protein is produced.
Bioreactor and foam level measurement and control
Protein separation in chromatography skids
Analytical measurement in both laboratory and manufacturing
Field instruments for easy calibration
Entire instrumentation designed according to the ASME BPE standard
Keeping conditions in bioreactors under control
Fermentation is a very complex and sensitive bio-process with a high demand on long-term stability and accuracy. Aseptic conditions must be ensured strictly over the whole biopharmaceutical manufacturing process. To fulfill these requirements consistent measurement is necessary:
redundant pH and DO measurement
temperature control
head space and foam level
feed flow control
pressure control
Get the most out of your chromatography skid
Chromatography is used to separate the target protein from the complex mixture of the fermentation broth by different interactions with the immobile phase. pH and conductivity define the conditions of the separation process. The target protein is detected by a UV sensor.
pH and conductivity measurement
UV process photometer
Flow control
Overpressure and over-temperature protection
Ensure stable inline pH measurement during fermentation
pH is a critical control parameter in a bioreactor. Each cell line has its own optimum pH range for efficient cell growth and protein expression. From laboratory to large scale manufacturing, consistent and reliable data is required. Using the same digital technology over all scales for the pH loops, provides maximum safety and allows an innovative calibration philosophy in the laboratory.

Champakulam Moolam Boat Race
The Champakulam Boat Race takes place every year at the Champakulam Lake in Alappuzha, Kerala. It is the most popular and oldest snake boat race of Kerala and the start of many races during June and October. It is held on the River Pampa in Champakulam village of Alappuzha district on the Moolam day (Mool Nakshatra). Before the boat race, a procession is held every year in memory of the installation of the idol of Lord Shri Krishna.
The snake boats are very long boats with a length of about 30 meters or more. They have a raised prow which give them their name- 'Snake Boats.' When more than 100 oarsmen make the long snake boat cut the waves of the river and speed through the water to leave the other racing boats behind, thousands and lakhs of people standing at the river bank can literally feel the adrenalin rush in their bodies!
We stayed at the Triveny River Palace and had from the hotel's garden a nice view of the finishing line of the race. We had full service of the hotel and the garden was less crowded than the opposite side of the river as you can see in the pictures.

Michelle Bento"We were in a tough situation tonight, in a lot of different ways. I thought our kids fought hard and played to the end."
"This is the pace we like and we didn't want to change anything we've been doing all year just for tonight. When it gets going up and down like it did tonight, it was to our advantage; that's when we came back and took the lead. To sustain that for 40 minutes with few bodies is tough."
On FSU's 13 three-pointers in the game
"We knew they had the capability of doing that. They have very good outside shooters. Did I expect that? I would have hoped not, but they got on a roll and gained momentum and confidence, just making one after another."
On scoring streaks
"It was a game of runs. We came out in the second half and cut the deficit, and took the lead, right away, which was what we needed to do. Then they came back and made a run. I had a feeling it was going to be like that all the way down to the wire. They kind of took over toward the end."
On dressing only seven players
"I don't think that was the entire reason. Fresno made shots, and killed us on the offense boards. It was tough, though, Whitney Sutak having to step into the point position and run the whole show. She's played point this year, but like in the situation she was put in tonight. I thought she did a very good job."
On coming back to Fresno State
"It was a lot of different emotions. I had a lot of great memories here and it's great to come back and see so many familiar faces. But I always wanted to be a winner in that gym."

Hi, my 17 month old is still not really eating solids. She is being seen once a month by a speech therapist for feeding therapy and is at the bottom of the weight chart and has had low hemoglobin in the past. She is also very energetic, and hasn't really gained any weight in the last 3 months.
I could just nurse her more and more, but she is very busy and doesn't really make her nursing count until the day winds down. She nurses all through the night. She had a severe nursing aversion from the time she was 2 months old to about 10 months old, so I think sometimes we're still struggling with that.
She does take zantac because we think her original breast refusal was related to reflux, and she is eating a tiny bit more solids since we began the zantac meds.
I have had two professionals tell me now (the pediatrician and the speech therapist) that since she nurses so much at night, she may genuinely not be as hungry during the day. The speech therapist said they see this same problem with babies that are tube fed all night, and don't ever get the opportunity to be "hungry." Both suggested night weaning her.
I have had one AF, this month, actually, so even though I know periods can be sporadic still while nursing, it would seem my cycle is resuming. We co-sleep, as well. I just don't know anyone with this problem, so I'm asking for advice here. I don't really want to night wean her, as we're not done co-sleeping and nursing her is how she goes back to sleep at night. I am certain my supply is more abundant overnight, so I worry that if she night weaned, my overall supply would suffer, and then she *certainly* would not get enough calories in a day, and then there I'd be with low supply and with an older baby not eating solids. If she wasn't so low on (almost off) the WHO chart, I might be a little more willing to experiment with night weaning, but I am honestly scared to lose that milk and those nursings and calories.
Any thoughts? Advice? Will night weaning make her want to eat more food and nurse more during the day? Or is it too risky? I don't want to wind up having to supplement her with artificial baby milk if the pediatrician and speech therapist are wrong. I know you can't "starve" a baby into eating. HELP!

Risk Management & Internal Control
Proper risk management and internal control help organizations understand the risks they are exposed to, put controls in place to counter threats, and effectively pursue their objectives. They are therefore an important aspect of an organization's governance, management, and operations. Professional accountants can and should play a leading role in helping their organizations achieve an integrated, organization-wide approach to risk management and internal control—which ultimately helps create, enhance, and protect stakeholder value.

I opened up my LinkedIn page today to see 39 unread messages inviting me to like pages or attend events from companies and individuals I've never heard from before, let alone heard of.
It reminded me a bit of when I was first getting the Yelp community established here in Calgary. Part of the job was reaching out to local media about the events I was planning and cool local businesses I was finding.
Media and PR was not my background when I first started. During my newbie training, the PR team asked us to write a sample pitch. I thought a great story idea would be what one of Calgary's local food critics thought about crowd-sourced review websites like Yelp and how they thought it was changing our local scene. Turns out, that's not exactly what the PR team meant by a media pitch!
Once I learned about short and sweet pitching with specific details about what I was doing, I went to town getting the word out. I emailed EVERYONE I could find that I thought might sort of be interested in what I was doing.
Sometimes this approach worked, most of the time it didn't. Though it's a place to start when you aren't really sure what you're doing, I wouldn't recommend it.
What did work was remembering that the people on the other side of my emails were real people. They literally had anywhere from dozens to hundreds of people emailing them the same way I did every single day.
I thought about how my eyes glazed over every time someone I didn't know sent me something really random without ever having reached out to me before–and began to change my approach. Instead of cold emailing anyone I could find, I took a genuine interest in the stories and content people were putting out to the world. It took some extra work (and learning to love spreadsheets) on my part to help me keep track of everyone, but in the end, I learned that relationships make the world go round in terms of media too–and that genuine pitches to people I had spent the time following and getting to know became a win/win situation for both of us rather than just another email in the pile that would continue to go unread.
Whether you're trying to get your word out through traditional media, local bloggers, online influencers or any other person in your network, doing your homework and building a connection with specific people will take you so much farther than random email and messages blasts–and it's not as time-consuming as you might think. You don't need to be their best friend, in fact, they're likely to be suspicious if you do. But showing that you've read through their interests, seen some of their recent articles, followed a few of their recent tweets, etc. goes a long way in showing that what you've got to say could genuinely be of use to them.
So go on now and be a real person… Your networks will thank you for it!

Cultural Rehabilitation: The Health Benefits of Fermented Foods
When we talk about "culture," we're talking about everything humans have ever created to make their lives a little nicer, from painting, to music and literature, and including food traditions. We also use the word "culture" to describe foods that are alive with beneficial bacteria.
It's no coincidence. Humans have been working together with health-giving microbes to improve our foods for longer than we've been painting or writing. Fermentation is culture, and there's nobody who knows that better than our resident fermentation evangelist, Sandor Ellix Katz!
Below is an excerpt from his book Wild Fermentation, and if it whets your appetite for more information you should check out his newest book, The Art of Fermentation, too.
The following is an excerpt from Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods by Sandor Katz. It has been adapted for the Web.
Fermented foods and drinks are quite literally alive with flavor and nutrition. Their flavors tend to be strong and pronounced. Think of stinky aged cheeses, tangy sauerkraut, rich earthy miso, smooth sublime wines. Humans have always appreciated the distinctive flavors resulting from the transformative power of microscopic bacteria and fungi.
One major benefit of fermentation is that it preserves food. Fermentation organisms produce alcohol, lactic acid, and acetic acid, all "bio-preservatives" that retain nutrients and prevent spoilage. Vegetables, fruits, milk, fish, and meat are highly perishable, and our ancestors used whatever techniques they could discover to store foods from seasons of plenty for later consumption. Captain James Cook, the eighteenth-century English explorer who extended the far reaches of the British Empire, was recognized by the Royal Society for having conquered scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) among his crews by sailing with large quantities of sauerkraut.1 On his second round-the-world voyage, in the 1770s, sixty barrels of kraut lasted for twenty-seven months, and not a single crew member developed scurvy, which previously had killed huge numbers of the crews of long sea voyages.2
Among the many lands Cook "discovered" and delivered into the Crown's realm were the Hawaiian Islands (Cook called them the Sandwich Islands in honor of his patron). I find it an interesting parallel that the Polynesian people who crossed the Pacific Ocean and populated Hawaii more than a thousand years before Captain Cook also sustained themselves through the long voyage with fermented food, in this case poi, a thick starchy taro root porridge still popular in Hawaii and throughout the South Pacific.3
Fermentation not only preserves nutrients, it breaks them down into more easily digestible forms. Soybeans are a good example. This extraordinarily protein-rich food is largely indigestible without fermentation. Fermentation breaks down the soybeans' complex protein into readily digestible amino acids, giving us traditional Asian foods such as miso, tempeh, and tamari (soy sauce), which have become staples in contemporary Western vegetarian cuisine.
Milk, too, is difficult for many people to digest. Lactobacilli (a type of bacteria present in fermented dairy products and many other types of ferments) transform lactose, the milk sugar that so many humans cannot tolerate, into easier-to-digest lactic acid. Likewise, wheat that has undergone fermentation is easier to digest than unfermented wheat. A study in the journal Nutritional Health compared unfermented and fermented versions of a mix of barley, lentils, milk powder, and tomato pulp and found that "starch digestibility almost doubled in the fermented mixture."4 According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, which actively promotes fermentation as a critical source of nutrients worldwide, fermentation improves the bioavailability of minerals present in food.5 Bill Mollison, author of the Permaculture Book of Ferment and Human Nutrition, calls the action of fermenting foods "a form of pre-digestion."6
Fermentation also creates new nutrients. As they go through their life cycles, microbial cultures create B vitamins, including folic acid, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, and biotin. (Ferments have often been credited with creating vitamin B12, otherwise absent from plantsource foods; however, this bubble has now been burst by improved assaying techniques that show that what had been identified as B12 in fermented soy and vegetables are actually inactive "analogues." B12 is only found in foods from animal sources, suggesting that a vegan diet is deficient in B12 without supplementation, the efficacy of which is quite controversial.7)
Some ferments have been shown to function as antioxidants, scavenging cancer precursors known as "free radicals" from the cells of your body.8 Lactobacilli create omega-3 fatty acids, essential for cell membrane and immune system function.9 A marketer of "cultured whole food supplements" boasts that "the culturing process generates copious amounts of naturally occurring ingredients like superoxide dismustase, GTF chromium, detoxifying compounds like glutathione, phospholipids, digestive enzymes, and beta 1,3 glucans."10 Frankly, nutritional factoids like this make my eyes glaze over. You don't really need chemical analysis to tell you what foods are healthy. Trust your instincts and your taste buds. The data adds up to this: Fermentation makes food more nutritious.
Fermentation also removes toxins from foods. This is vividly illustrated by the case of cassava, an enormous tuber native to the tropical regions of the Americas that has also become a staple food in equatorial regions of Africa and Asia. Certain varieties of cassava contain high levels of cyanide and are poisonous until they have undergone a soaking fermentation. The fermentation process eliminates the cyanide, rendering the cassava edible and nutritious.
Not all food toxins are as dramatic as cyanide. All grains contain a compound called phytic acid, which can block absorption of zinc, calcium, iron, magnesium, and other minerals and lead to mineral deficiencies. Fermenting grains by soaking them before cooking neutralizes phytic acid, rendering the grain far more nutritious.11 Nitrites, prussic acid, oxalic acid, nitrosamines, and glucosides are some other potentially toxic chemicals found in foods that can be reduced or eliminated by fermentation.12
Eating fermented foods live is an incredibly healthy practice, directly supplying your digestive tract with living cultures essential to breaking down food and assimilating nutrients. Not all fermented foods are still alive when you eat them. Certain foods, by their nature, cannot contain live cultures. Breads, for instance, must be baked, thereby killing the organisms present in them. However, many fermented foods can be consumed live, especially those involving Lactobacilli, and alive is the most nutritious way to eat them.

About Us
The Society grew out of a Pioneer Days Celebration on September 4, 1983 honoring Englewood's first newspaper editor, Josephine Cortes, author of The History of Early Englewood and Pioneer Days founder. In May, 1984 an organizational meeting was held, and by the next Pioneer Days celebration on September 2, 1984, the Society had organized a mullet roast for 150 people! The mullet was freshly caught by members of the Platt family and Bill Davis and Bob Cashatt foraged some swamp cabbage, which was cooked using Eula Davis' (Bill's mother) famous recipe.
In 1985, the Lemon Bay Historical Society was officially incorporated as a non-profit organization whose mission was "for the specific purposes of perpetuating the legacy of the past [and] honoring the pioneer settlers of the Lemon Bay area."
Bob Cashatt, an artist who grew up in Englewood, designed our logo which depicts the early days of the Lemon Bay area. The grubbing hoe over the man's shoulder was used to clear the scrub palmettos shown in front of the man. They had to be cleared before building or gardening.
The cabbage palm tree, to the left, furnished protection from the elements, and was also a source of food. The fronds were layered like shingles on both walls and roofs of shelters. The center fronds of new growth were woven into hats and the heart of the palm is a delicious food, both as a salad and as a boiled dinner.
Fishing was the main industry and source of food for the pioneers. This is depicted by the fisherman in the boat with the net over the stern.
The sailboat brought supplies into the bay. There were no roads or bridges, only wagon trails. The sunset depicts the beauty of Lemon Bay and the Gulf beyond. This information was provided by Don Platt. His grandmother homesteaded here in 1894.
