"I guess I was so willing to accept everything that every part of Treasure Island had, that I just grabbed onto everything. From the daycare, they always had events going on, so it was so fun to go over there and have a Halloween party. And then Catholic Charities, they were always throwing events, and it was just so family fun. Then you got the Blue Angels flying over and everyone's out there and it was just so amazing. Treasure Island was... It's such a gem. I am so blessed that I was part of Treasure Island back in the day when it was raw and it was what it was. And there was no construction going on. It was just an old town and a lot of history, and a lot of little things everywhere with a lot of little different companies and folks that are there to help you."
