Two people walking on the beach at sunset — Two favorite people in the world.

Sunset at the beach — Our nightly Sanibel Island tradition is to sit here and watch. We stay at the same place every year. We know what to expect. The unexpected.

At the 2009 Masters Track and Field World Championships.

Now, a quarter century later, it continues to serve in remarkable ways.
