WATERMARK MAGAZINE SOLD
Tom Dyer, the founder and owner of Watermak Magazine has announced the magazine was sold to Rick Claggett.  Last fall the magazine celebrated their 20th year. We remember in 1992, being with Peter Thornly the owner of Rainbow City in Orlando. Peter was so excited that there was finally going to be a LGBT News paper in Orlando.  The past 20 years were great and we are looking forward to the next 20 years. Congratulations to all the wonderful people past and future at Watermark Magazine.

You Just Can Not Make This Up

PROUD UNCLES
Our niece Natalie married Ryan about 2 years ago. The classic wedding was held at the Rocking H Ranch in Lakeland. This past week the wedding was featured in Weddings Illustrated. The title was REAL FLORIDA WEDDING. One funny moment in the wedding was… The DJ was a friend of ours. He didn’t know that Natalie was our niece. We walked up to him and said HI. With a look of surprise he told us this was a fancy private wedding and we couldn’t be there. He actually thought we were party crashers. LOL   Here is the link to the story and photos.
