Dear Billy,
I just want to thank you for making our Florida vacation. My family routinely vacations in the Sanibel and Fort Myers area. Unfortunately, my father has been ill, however we still decided to take our Florida trip. We were concerned how he (and my mother and I) would enjoy the beautiful Sanibel beaches since he is unable to walk and standard wheelchairs are useless. That is where you come in. We saw the sign stating availability of beach wheelchairs and called the telephone number. The police department was great and we were set up with a beach wheelchair. You graciously showed us how to operate the chair and even pushed my father in the chair down to the beach. You treated my father with respect and courtesy and we appreciated it immensely. My family was able to enjoy the beach and the beautiful surroundings. Our experience was so positive that upon hearing about the beach wheelchairs, my brother took his family to Sanibel for the first time. His wife is in a wheelchair and has not been able to enjoy beaches for some time. I have enclosed a photograph of my parents with my father enjoying the Sanibel beach from his wheelchair. We are currently planning our next trip down to Sanibel. Your community is in my thoughts and prayers. We will see you again in 2005. Fondest regards,

Cheryl Smith
