SUBMITTED BY THE BOCA GRANDE HISTORICAL SOCIETY – The Boca Beacon’s of the early 1980s included a column called “Syble Sez” based on local news of social events, business openings, family visitors, marriages, new babies and general gossip. Syble was Syble Futch who shared bar tending duties at The Temptation with Doris Wheeler where she was well situated to hear what was going on around town.
In her first column in the November 1, 1980 edition of the Beacon, Syble covers the grand opening party of the rebuilt Pink Elephant on October 18. She tells that “free drinks were flowing and hundreds of pounds of shrimp, smoked salmon and stone crab claws were served.” In the same article, she notes that Mike Mansfield, then ambassador to Japan but formerly a Montana Senator, had eaten twice at the new Pink (and many times previously at the original Pink Elephant) as the guest of Boca Grande winter resident, Mrs. Charles Englehard.

Shown (left to right) are: Ann Joiner, Michael Thompson, Sharon Hathcock, Jodi Tillman, TCMS Principal Kiki Puhl, Boles, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Danny Glover Jr., Kasey Roberts and Monica Whiddon.
Sarah Boles, who chartered the inaugural FFA chapter at Taylor County Middle School, has been named the Taylor County School District’s “Teacher of the Year.”
“She is an outstanding and dedicated teacher who teaches agriculture and is the FFA advisor at TCMS. Thanks to Sarah’s dedication, the TCMS chapter continues to grow, year after year,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Danny Glover Jr. said.
