Curt Whiticar Turns 97





Long time Stuart Sailfish Club supporter, conservation advocate, boat captain, boat builder, artist, and golfer Curt Whiticar celebrated his 97th today with some of his close golfing buddies at Yacht and Country Club. He recieved special recognition as one of the early coordinaters of the development, Charter Member of Yacht & Country Club, and the oldest living continuous active member. He still plays golf there 3 days a week, and normally walks away with the winnings for the day...$2 to $5 and bragging rights.

As most of you know, Curt designed the original Stuart Sailfish Club release pins that are quite prized today by those who earned them. For more information, see our Club History on our web site.

Just recently published, Curt and daughter Laura Kay Darvill put together a great book of early Martin County and Stuart. It's available in book stores and museums around the Treasure Coast. For more information, contact Laura at lk@whiticar.com. You'll not be able to put it down.

Included in the pictures above are Curt's golfing bandits, Laura Kay, and Arnold Seesholtz.

Thanks, Curt, for all your contributions to our lives. Happy birthday, and many more.
