 Captain Tom Lee
|
As a longtime sailor
(38 years) on Lake Superior and a professional librarian, I researched
the BEST place to live on a sailboat in Florida for the winter. My
decision: K-Dock at the City
Marina in Fort Pierce. After a trip by water from Michigan to
Florida (76 days), I tied up the good sloop WINDSONG at K-Dock. The
City Marina was as I expected ... wonderful! |
|
| Being in Fort Pierce made
me feel like I had won a grand prize. In fact, I loved living in Fort
Pierce so much that I started FRIENDS OF FORT PIERCE. You too,
can become a member. |
How to get your Fort
Pierce ME TOO pin and MEMBERSHIP CARD:
From Dec. to the end of March, stop by K-Dock (across from the Manatee
Center) at the Fort Pierce City Mareina. I am on the sailboat
with the University of Michigan Flag, Slip 19. Get your
membership card and pin for free. Between April and
November, send your name and mailing address (plus $5 to cover costs)
to Tom Lee, 500 Lakeshore Drive, Ontonagon, MI 49953.

| The history of the ME TOO
pin goes back to my grandfather, author Edward Edson Lee, who published
50 adventure books under the pen name of LEO EDWARDS. |
 |
Leo's books were
written primarily for teenage boys. To become a member of The Secret and Mysterious Order of
the Freckled Goldfish, readers were asked to send the author a
2 cent stamp to cover cost. Members were sent a membership card, and a
ME TOO pin with a freckled goldfish wearing a top hat. Thousand of kids
from across the United States joned in the early 1900s. |
