MARILYN IRR

Don't skip a heartbeat - this isn't an obituary! In fact it's quite the opposite. Marilyn Irr has a high tide rising in her life. She has recently completed a mystery novel set in a place that most Abaco lovers will recognise as a reasonable facsimile of Green Turtle Cay in the 1920's. It will be required reading for all who know and love both Marilyn and Abaco.

But there's even better news. Marilyn said she'd never marry again but along came Bob Sanborn out of San Diego and Marilyn is now engaged. Bob must be quite a fellow! No date has been set yet and Marilyn has a few enjoyable commitments in the near future including supporting her son-in-law as he tackles the Boston Marathon in April and a cruise with friends in May.

Marilyn says she has ordered her wedding ring from Sand Dollar Shop Shoppe of Green Turtle Cay and it will follow the dolphin theme she has already established.

For those who don't know Marilyn, it was she who started Treasure Times as a community news sheet long ago. Under Bill Durrell the Treasure Times became the Abaco Journal and expanded its horizons. When some old timers say they wish things had stayed the same, they echo a fundamental wistfulness with which we empathise. But Marilyn often writes to say she loves the Abaco Journal as it is now, so we really can't offer any apologies.

Keep us up to date with your exciting doings, Marilyn. And remember, Treasure Cay is the ideal place for a honeymoon!
