“There isn’t a waterway in Florida that I haven’t been on…”

Fran Abeel shares her happy memories of boating on the St. Johns River, the community of St. James Cathedral and the wonderful life her family has here in Orlando. She recalls her boys learning to ski on the lake at the Sportsmen’s Club, the group picnics, and trips with friends taking their boat down to Sanford, putting it on the St. Johns River and going for the weekend to Jacksonville or down to Miami. From the beginning, St. James was their home as she shares in this excerpt from an oral history interview at Saint James Cathedral in downtown Orlando on September 3, 2011.
