What’s New at the Museum
...998, 999, 1000!
On an otherwise ordinary day in
March, and unbeknownst to them,
docents greeted our 1000th visitor
of the month to the Museum creating
a new record! The final March count
was 1080 guests, a full 197 visitors
over our next highest monthly total.
Many of the 1000+ visitors happened to be students.
From the local Montessori School
students (p.6) to the university
Spring Breakers (photo below
right), youthful groups found us.
Just beyond our doors, the
Flagler Beach Pier is our city’s most
iconic landmark. Historically, many community events in decades past
have taken place on the Pier although more recently those have been

Thanks
&
Cheers
to
Our
Volunteers!
His assist fit in nicely with Catherine’s final words, “It takes a village!”
Teri agreed, stating, “This is my favorite event of the year, because
it allows me to thank all of you, our docents and volunteers, without
whom the Museum would not be such a success.” She then acknowledged former City Commissioner John Feind for his many years on
the board and the audit committee; newcomer Paul Tonini, serving as
bookkeeper; Sue Norton the 2nd year webmaster; and Stewart Selden
who is in his 4th year of digitalizing the museum archives.
Many heartfelt thanks were expressed to the Museum’s annual Gala
Committee for their tireless dedication to making the annual costume
gala fundraiser such a great success and fabulous fun. Honored were
committee members extraordinaire Kim Carney, Carol Fisher and her
staff, Beth Mount, Lauren Watkins, Sandra Siepietoski, Cindy Miller,
Karen Young, Linda Jones, Jason Ganser, and Bev Zemlock.
Sometimes forgotten as volunteers are the Museum Board Directors. In addition to Catherine, Rob, Teri, Kelli, and Linda, in attendance
were 2nd V.P. Kathy Feind, Secretary Linda Jones, Cindy Dalecki,
Charles Helm, Cindy Miller, Beth Mount and Ed Moore. Unable to attend
but greatly appreciated
are Mary Ann Ruzecki,
Lea Stokes,Lauren Watkins and Pat MacAllister
And saving the
“best for last,” the Museum’s 28 fabulous
and dedicated docents
were celebrated! These
are the folks who gave
a warm Museum welcome to 8,160 visitors
in 2013.
Each of these volunteers relayed a humorous or heartwarm- Photo (L to R) Executive Director Teri Pruden,

and Bev Zemlock.
Along with other volunteers, attendees collectively provided
over 4000 volunteer hours in 2013, which provided an amazing savings in what would be $84,000 salaried hours! Soon after the lovely
afternoon gathering had concluded, Teri shared these thoughts, “The
only downside to this event is that with so much help, we worry about
leaving someone out. Just off the top of my head, I realize I should
have mentioned Tom Hury for leading the annual audit each year and
our new student intern Heather Crane. I always encourage people to
call me if they, or someone they know, has been forgotten. We’ll give
them their own feature in the next newsletter!”

A lovely spring day bloomed brightly on April 7th, for the Museum’s
Annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon. Docents and dignitaries
gathered in Blue’s Antique Room at the Topaz Motel for a delicious
luncheon hosted by Blue owner Kelli O’Reilly. As our newest board
member, she has immediately displayed her willingness to roll up her
sleeves and get right to work! (See opposite page for more about Kelli.)
On hand to applaud the volunteers were Flagler Beach Mayor
Linda Provencher and City Manager Bruce Campbell, plus City Commissioners Jane Mealy and Kim Carney. Director Teri Pruden pointed
out that Linda also serves as the City Liaison to the Museum board,
that Jane was a long time board secretary and that Kim has been
co-chair of the annual costume gala for numerous years. She is also
spearheading the newest Museum fundraiser: Jazz, Cheese & “Cheers!”
(For more info, see opposite page.) Teri also asked Bruce to take her
heartfelt thanks back to his staff, whom she said “always step up to
help -- competently and enthusiastically whenever a request is made.”
Each year at the luncheon, a new aspect of volunteerism is
highlighted. In 2013, the docents who had served the longest were
honored. This year, Flagler Volunteer Services Director Suzy Gamblain
arrived with President’s Volunteer Service Awards for those who met
the national criteria. (Number of 2013 hours served follow each name.)
Silver Awards went to LJ Dunham (264) and Linda Jones (313).
Bronze Awards went to Sally Horvath (102), Ed Moore (110), Bill Grady
(156), Mary Calkins (128), Carol Schneider (116), Tom McKinney (219)
and 1st Vice President Rob Creal (246). Lifetime Achievement letters
from President Barack Obama were awarded to Museum Founder/
President Catherine Wilson (4,224 hours) and Director Teri Pruden,
(8,667 hours).
While accepting her award, Catherine reminded the group that
everything accomplished was due to their efforts, and those of so
many unsung heroes not in the room. As she spoke a story was circulating about how Blue hostess’ Crystal Haines’ father Bill Willis had
been called upon the night before to help prepare for the luncheon.

Welcome Kelli O’Reilly to the FBHM Board of Directors!
Besides being owner of the well known Flagler Beach restaurant BLUE at the Topaz for over a decade, Kelli
has a very diverse background of promotional expertise
and community involvement. We at the museum are very
excited to welcome Kelli to our Board of Directors, and
look forward to benefitting from her many experiences.
Born and raised in Long Island, Kelli has lived in Flagler
County for over 12 years, and prior to that, resided in Los
Angeles for 4 years. She worked as Senior Communications
Officer from 1998-2001 at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric
AIDS Foundation where she developed public relations
strategy, wrote press releases and scientific updates, and
coordinated press conferences including a 1999 event with
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Kelli has expertise in two areas that the Museum staff puts a lot of effort into:
Special Events and Publicity. She was an event coordinator of many high profile fundraising programs including celebrity-run carnivals, golf
tournaments, and black tie dinners. Kelli also worked as an Associate Producer/Marketing & Publicity Director. She coordinated all logistical
elements of several live pay-per-view shows, and has also been responsible for all aspects of marketing and publicity including creating and
writing national advertising campaigns. Her employment included a stint for a PR company and work at Conde Nast Publications as an assistant editor. Kelli was a 1989 graduate of St. John’s University in NYC with a degree in journalism.
Charmingly located in quaint
Flagler Beach overlooking the
tranquil ocean, Blue at the Topaz
offers creative food from creative
chefs. It is consistently fine dining
at an affordable price. Since opening the doors in
2002, Blue has grown into one of Flagler Beach’s
most talked about restaurants, for both its menu and
the fabulous view at 1224 South Oceanshore Blvd.
Dining at the award-winning Blue is recommended
for celebrating a special day or everyday. After you’ve
dined at Blue, you’ll be leaving and planning your next
visit all at the same time.
The friendly service, fabulous food, and unique
surroundings will have you coming back again and
again…. Because at Blue, everyone’s a local!
Jazz, Cheese & “Cheer!”

1964: 50 Years ago at the Flagler Beach School!
Now home to the Flagler Beach Montessori School, the old Wickline’s walls and halls have witnessed nearly 90 years of education
since the building’s 1925 debut as the Flagler Beach School. Often
referred to today as simply “The Wickline,” the South Daytona Avenue
school site and park name honors dedicated public servant George
E. Wickline whose combined service as Flagler County Commissioner and Flagler Beach Mayor and Commissioner totaled 34 years.
He also helped save the landmark from private ownership in
its later years, added Wickline’s daughter and Museum president
Catherine Wilson, who writes of the school’s early days in her book
“A New Beginning. “It was just so nice to have a small school where
everybody knew each other,” shared Wilson, whose daughters,
JoAnne Hebb and Barbara Revels were students there in the 1950s.
Barbara (photo below: second row, far left) reminisced about
her days at the school noting that Becky Thomas, Kenneth Whitney, Rosemary “Rosie” Tidwell, Susan “Suzie” Peterson, Frank
to hear from more of the students who
attended the Flagler Beach School.
In a timely coincidence, a recent
visitor to the Museum was Ms. Theo
(Smith) Dodge, (photo right of her 98th
birthday.) Ms. Dodge taught 3rd and
4th grade at the Flagler Beach School
in the early 1950s before leaving to go
to Palatka. Born in Putnam County, she
graduated from Gainesville High School
and then the University of Florida.
Ms. Theo‘s teaching career included several elementary schools in Central
Florida, as well as a stint as the Assistant
Principal at Larken High School. She Theo (Smith) Dodge, teacher at Flagler’s 1st Schoolis an avid reader and an accomplished house Turns 98 Years Young!
painter,
who has won many awards for her artwork.
At last count, Ms. Theo has 47 paintings
in her house of landscapes and birds. Her
paintings also hang in several professional
offices in Ponte Vedra, Jacksonville and
the Palatka Library. Ms. Theo’s visit included a look at the Wickline school desk
and lectern on display at the Museum.
For more information about “The
Wickline” see the Autumn 2008 newsletter on our website: flaglerbeachmuseum.

School students who recently visited the
Museum (photo below.) Their teachers
and classes continue the Flagler Beach

Thomas, Faye Hutcheson and Sheila Phillips. Second row, Barbara Wilson, Donna Filkins,

Perkins, Patti Galloway, Billy Joe Miller, Susan Peterson, Grady Prather, David Anderson and
Daniel Waterman. Back row, Kris Martel, Frank Fleurie, Christy Wilson, Janet Sue Haines,
Ann Meekins and Jane Green. Far left is Principal William Fennell.
Fleurie and Ann Meekins are among those still making Flagler
County their home. Barbara has fond memories of attending
the school where she made what were to be lifelong friends.
Many thanks go out to Suzie (photo above: third row, center)
who emailed the Museum this 1964 photo of the 6th grade graduation. She remembers fondly her 2nd grade teacher Ms. Suzanne
Bourne (a museum founding member!) who let her have a birthday
party during class. Suzie said that the students would sit on the
high wall on the south side of the building, and that misbehaving
students had to sit on a rock during recess as punishment. She
remembers Mr. Fennell (photo: far left) bringing in a TV to their 6th
grade classroom so they could watch President Kennedy’s funeral.
Barbara said that, unlike today, the principal, Mr. Fennell also
taught classes at the school. She recalled him as a very tall man
and a very good principal and teacher for about ten years. She said
he was also “famous” for his sneezes, which were so loud that they
actually rattled the windows in the building, so everyone in all the
classrooms knew when he had sneezed. Fifty years later, we hope
A Flagler County history book and
DVD series are in the making. If you
have stories or photos to share, or
know someone who does, please

Flagler Beach Historical Museum goes ON THE ROAD!
Karen Young and other Museum
representatives have been on the move
this month. From Earth Day to outer
space, they reached out to the local
community to share a little taste of our
Museum displays.
This year the Friends of the Flagler
County Library encouraged residents to
read the book “Killing Kennedy” by Bill
O’Reilly for the annual “Flagler Reads
Together” program. Friends president
Terry Jones arranged for Jon Cowart from NASA’s Community Outreach
Program, to speak of President Kennedy’s challenge to his country and
Congress on May
25, 1961. The
speech included
these words:
“First, I believe
that this nation
should commit
itself to achieving
the goal, before
this decade is
out, of landing
a man on the
moon and returning him safely to
the Earth.”
Neil Armstrong,
Buzz Aldrin and Mike
Collins in the Command Module did just
that in July of 1969.
At the behest of Palm
Coast Astronomy Club
president Fred Pellmann, the Museum’s
1969 photo of the
three astronauts who
crewed the Apollo 11
mission, was displayed
prominently during
Cowart’s speech.
A popular piece in the Space Age display at the Museum, the photo
was donated to us by the Flagler Woman’s Club. In addition to multiple
NASA photos and memorabilia, the exhibit includes the City of Flagler
Beach flag designed by Rosmarie Price, Colleen Lee, Alice Baker and
Sandra Bolser which traveled on the Space Shuttle Endeavor on its
flight to the International Space Station in December 2001.
Turning from landing a man on the moon to planet Earth, Karen
Young also attended the annual Earth Day celebration at Washington
Oaks in April. With the help of Linda Jones, Connie Kormanyos and Kathy
Tiller, the museum tent was erected and their tables included photo
displays, membership information, and historiy-related gift shop items.
If your organization has an event at which you would like museum
representation, please call Karen at (386) 517-2025.
