30A Then and Now

[lancelf08]

Hey all,

Does anyone know the best way to get in touch with Van Ness Butler? I'm working on a story about 30A Then and Now and thought he'd be a wealth of information.

I'd also like to talk to anyone that has lived in the area for the past two decades and who would like to share their stories of the changes - good and bad - along the 18 miles of road that hugs the Gulf.

Best,

I think the number in the phone book is still good.

Yep, I just called the other day, the phone book is always a good source!

VN is definitely a good source. Be sure the number you look up is Van Ness Jr. & Jonnye. (I could recite it, but not sure they want your number on the forum.)

Or, I could call for you...his wife is my aunt. It's really important for us to document as much as we can, while we still have them, as they are both getting up in years and VN is not in the greatest health these days.

You should include Albert Butler as well as Mr. Joe Taylor.
