Well, yeah I had no clue that they had some of these on the Grayton Beach site. Glad I found it now.
Just thought I would say, Van R. Butler is my great-grandfather. His daughter Helen Janice Toole is my grandmother, and her son Stan Toole is my father.
It used to be lots of fun when I was little and there was almost nobody on the beach except for my big family. Now I have people at my school wearing Red Bar shirts.

Darlene is my middle name, not my nickname
We are all related. Just start a family tree sometime and you'll see it's never ending.
UH OH, you guys probably don't like the idea of being related to me. :shock:

As far as the cousins - that would be Van & Donna. Van Ness' wife, Jonnye, is my late mom's sister.
However, I grew up here with all "the grandchildren" and now many of our kids are growing up here with each other too. I am often asked if I'm kin to the Infingers and we all laugh and say we might as well be, because that's easier than explaining why we aren't.
Also, I'm kin by marriage to the Butlers through the other side of my family too. Van Ness' cousin, Albert, is married to my late dad's sister. (Freaked out yet?) It is truly a small world.
Grandpa Butler once explained to me that he wanted to go to FSU but they wouldn't let him in. See, back then it was all-female (and you've been told how he liked to look at the ladies!).
Whoa cool! lol that is weird. But Jonnye isn't my cousin she's my aunt......i don't i'm really confused.
You probobly remember more things about Grandpa than me then lol if you knew him. He died when i was in 6th grade.
You do know Jennifer, Julie, and Joy Steele though?
okay i think your a bit cofused too, lol.
I'm Julie Toole and my sister's name is Jennifer Toole. When we come to Grayton, we would stay at my grandma's house. Joy and Jancy Steele would stay next door at the Pinkston's. Jancy and my sister Jennifer were close in age and would play togethor, but their not related to us.

If you are a Junior this year, you may be our youngest poster yet that I know about. I was hoping we'd get some local high schoolers on board some day.
Beach ComberAuthor
lol yay!

I should have been more specific, being as there are four generations of Vans... 
Jonnye is my aunt, and she is your aunt too. Van III is my first cousin, and your dad's first cousin.
In any case, welcome aboard!

I do recommend Cameroonie to any girl. He's a great driver and probably the best rapper I've ever heard.

Cameron is not happy with me...neither is Gus. They got to my apartment and apparently Patrick couldn't do the only 2 things I asked him to do. Run the dishwasher and empty his stuff out of the fridge. :roll: And the power was cut off...so no A/C. Gus and Cammyron are showing NO love...

Kimmifunn...expect a package in the mail soon...muuaahhh!!!

Beach ComberAuthor

Funnkalicious
Oh...that should be cool. Do you go to Spain Park or Hoover? Are they similar...or pretty different?
Beach ComberAuthor
I go to Hoover. The difference between Spain Park and Hoover is that we are bigger..........and better.

Hi Julie. I am Jennifer, Julie, Joy and Jancy Steele's mother. We are the Pinkston's next door to your grandma. I remember you when you were very little and Jancy and Jennifer played together. I can't believe you are so grown up. Jancy started college this year. Yea, the Jennifer/Julie thing is quite a coincidence.
Your cousin Donna Butler and I played together also when we were growing up at Grayton.
Kurt, I am glad you got to see Fisherman...

I grew up across the street from the Pinkstons -Scotts Place - do you OR ANYONE remember the old "hut" that was there before we built the house? Just like Gilligans Island! I had so many friends when I was young there, but I have such a hard time remembering names....I tend to just remember the fun we had..crabbing, the store, Oh well....Just thought I would say HI, in case we ever did play together.
