Unfortunately, she had a difficult time coming up with the names of other islanders who were lost at sea, although as my visit progressed she came up with a half dozen more. I will do some more research.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-88102273389722337692015-10-13T23:52:29.023-04:002015-10-13T23:52:29.023-04:00Oops--Make that Rayfield (not Rayford)

The last time or two I was there, sadly, I was not impressed. Seemed to be largely empty...t-shifts and a few souvenirs, and of course the three-letter oval stickers proudly proclaiming the initials of the Albert Styron Store... <br /><br />Is that a "for sale" sign out front?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
