Welcome, Loretta & Mel Haines who came to our state 5 years ago. The Haines came to us from Hastings on the Hudson, N.Y.

Mel managed the Tri Bureau Bridge & tunnel, while Loretta taught school from Harlem to Hastings and Hofstra University.

They reside in Prestine Place with their loving pug " Miss Bell".

The Haines know there way around the water too and taught Power Sqd. classes in New York and Mel is a past Commodore of the

Hernando Bch Yacht Club. Those of you that are New York Yankees fans will have to chat with Loretta, who's grandfather " Happy Kiernan"

was a pitcher in the 30's with the Babe!
