We here on TybeeIslandshare the month of December with the 30 days of Queen Roma Harper. Roma turned 80 years young and with a little help from her friends, celebrated in grand style. Over 100 people showed up at Marlin Monroe’s to wish her happy birthday. As usual, owner Jenny Orr and her staff provided excellent service and food. Our beloved Mayor, Jason read Roma’s proclamation. He read quite a few “where as’s.” Judy O’Neill assisted with the fascinating facts about Roma. Did you know-Roma is very well educated a fact she never mentions. We all know people who constantly talk about themselves (you know who you are). Mayor Pro-tem Wanda Doyle gave Roma the Key to the City. Everyone came to wish Roma well. People willingly took the microphone and talked about meeting Roma. People who have known her for 40 years spoke and people who she met a few months ago spoke. Roma truly had a Queen’s Birthday party.
Have any of you seen retired police Chief Jimmy Price? He looks fabulous! He is a boat captain, and his wife, Queen Claire, looks elegant as always.
A young 19 old man had a grand-mal seizure and he stopped breathing. His mother was in shock paralyzed by fear. John hears the mother’s screams and investigates the commotion. John starts rescue breathing and tells someone to call 911. John works on the patient until EMS arrives. Due to John’s quick action and calm nerves a life was saved. John is real-life hero.
The Quarter had a Christmas Pool Tournament. The lovely Brenda Carter went through considerable trouble to get the photo in the Breeze. The photo refused to download. I will call Don Ernst the computer guru and publish the photo in the next issue. These are our Christmas Pool Tournament participants: Marilyn Tuten, Michelle Gillikin, Bruce Freyermuth, Jerry Warren, Daniel Tuberville, Dustin Shealy, Micheal Hudson & Mike West.
