Notes

General Note:

These are four oral histories collected by Dick Townsend that discuss Virginia Key Beach. According to the handwritten label on the original VHS tape, Townsend collected oral histories from: Leome Culmer in July 2002, Enid Pinkney in July 2002, Mary Albury Ferrell in August 2002, and Bud Brown in May 2002. The film ends following Brown's recollections. Among the things discussed in the video are: taking food to the beach, the carousel and train, baptisms and revivals at Virginia Key Beach, the potential for a museum at Virginia Key Beach Park, restoring the park to "what it once was," and holiday celebrations at the beach.
