    I wish that more people remained who remembered Swede Smith and his wife Rose Pearl. What a delightful pair! Of course, Swede’s Store was THE store of the peninsula, much like the Big Store of today. He,and later, after he retired and Eddie Robinson took over, carried everything one could possibly need for a week or weekend at the beach, at exorbitant prices. As a teenager I worked at the store summers, and had a ball. (I am now 72 years old.) One of my chores was to take telephone messages to the well-heeled visitors in their homes–no home phones, then,on the beach. I had a huge crush on Ann (Willis). What a doll, then and now, but Joe snapped her up before I could even try.

    Congratulations! Swede’s is so much a part of Bolivar Peninsula and has been ever since we can remember. Swede himself was a true character, and that his company is still so active is a great tribute to Anne Willis. Here’s to the next 60 years!
