There is no better way to describe my friend Maxine but as a true friend. We worked together at South Seas Plantation on Captiva Island Fl. back in 1981. We shared many memorable experiences together with a few other friends at the time. The best one being boating on our days off from Captiva to Cabbage Key with Karol, we were a threesome. Maxine would lay on the bottom of the boat until we got there and Karol and I would laugh until we got to our destination. Maxine did not like the seas too much and would only say let me know when we get there. I was only 24 and they starting in their 40’s I was fearless and took risk and they enjoyed the ride. Once at our destination we enjoyed good food the beaches and each others company. A memory is for a lifetime and these will always be. I love you Maxine and we will have more memories to share some day. Save a spot for me. Love YOU – Villy.
