By the way, if you didn’t happen to read about it in the Sounder, Lance Evans of the Chamber of Commerce has retired. He passed the baton on to Carey Eskridge. We will miss you Lance, but good to see you out enjoying the island! If y’all haven’t yet met Carey, make sure to go say hello to him sometime!
