nt i o P gs
Fred and Debbie Shorb took their News of Kings Point on a tour of the west coast. Here they are in San Francisco at the Golden Gate Bridge and in Monterey, California.
Beginning in June 2011, the News of Kings Point will debut a new feature called: “Where in the World is the News of Kings Point.” We know many of you folks love to travel almost as much as our resident wanderer, Eddie Dixon. So, when you go on the road or on that cruise in the coming months, be sure to take along your NOKP. Snap a photo of you or a loved one holding up the paper with the News of Kings Point header visible and send a digital image to news@thenewsofkingspoint.com so we can put your smiling face in the paper. Did we mention…THERE’S A PRIZE!!!! The esteemed travel experts at Legendary Journeys have generously agreed to sponsor this new feature by donating a. ONE-WEEK CARIBBEAN CRUISE. That’s right! Each year we will be drawing a name from our submitted photos and some lucky traveler will cruise the Caribbean courtesy of Legendary Journeys and NOKP. Contest runs from May 1, 2011 to April 31, 2012, so get those photos in! Details are available, by request, from new@thenewsofkingspoint.com.
Millie Shepherd took her News of Kings Point along with her to Tacoma, WA for her son’s retirement from the Air Force after 22 years. This picture was taken just off of the flightline at McChord Field (Air Force Base), in Washington state. This statue was in remembrance of a crew that went down with a C-141 aircraft years ago. Mt. Rainier is in the background but due to the cloud covering it cannot be seen (typical WA weather during this time of the year).

Cardiac ablation is just one exciting procedure offered at Manatee Memorial’s Heart and Vascular Center.
