Ms...Alain...eous From the EDITOR Well kids. Here we are. The other children and I running the Beachcomber Asylum have decided to half and half this issue -100% heartbreak matched with 200% humor, because we are TYBEE STRONG!! Let’s get it on... First off, I want to say Thank You to the following people: �� ����Jason Buelterman: Hat’s off to you! You were spot on with updates on FB newscasts, and all over social media with up to date information that those of us off-island desperately needed to hear. Thank you for loving Tybee and the misfits that live here. �� ����To the City of Tybee, EMS, Police and Fire, thank you! �� ����������������������Tybee resident who stepped up and just busted your asses to help, thank you!!! Never have I ever seen some neighbor throw-down action like Tybee! �� ����To CALVIN RATTEREE, and ERIC & HEATHER THOMAS: I honestly don’t know how we would have survived without y’all. There ain’t one person on Tybee that is going to die of starvation. �� ����To Ron Goralczyk, Jeremy Riberdy, Steve Todd, Ben Cromer, Joey Spalding, Clint Troop, and Rudy Rudon: You gentlemen are better than 1,000 Jim Cantore’s! Thank you for the videos on FB. Whether the news was bad or worse, you made sure we knew. �� ����To Mike Hosti and the IGA: Publix and Kroger got nothing on the Tybee IGA when it comes to heart. ������������������������������������������������������������������������������Georgia Power. THANK YOU!!!!!!! �� ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������Matt & Jordan (McCullough) Hecht. These people took me and my wretched cat, Sadie, in without a second thought. They also took Mac & Margie McLellan too (I think it might be an Irish thing). Best evacuation ever!!! If I am going out, I want to go out with these people! Martinis are on me for next go-round!! The Beachcomber FB page has tried to be as up to date with any and all pertinent information. I would like for one and all to feel free to just do a “Shout Out” to someone(s) that has helped during this time. We want to take the time to recognize people’s efforts. We all have our trials and tribs. We were affected in a variety of ways. Take a minute to thank somebody! So, Tybee, let’s pull up our group britches and get it on. Oh, we got Pirate’s Fest!!!! I am absolutely delighted to announce the King and Queen for Pirate’s Fest 2017 is Steve and Bethany Kellam!!! I had a chance to sit down for an in-depth interview with these two. Great read ahead in the feature story. I’m going to start out our first chuckle with the Traveling Beachcomber. This picture horrifies me, but I can’t stop laughing. Rudy Rudon, you are one of kind. I am going to choke you for this. Go on ... get your giggles … TYBEE BEACHCOMBER | OCT 2017 3
