The Ponte Vedra Recorder has been celebrating its existence for many years. In 1981, 12 years was a big deal, and an occasion to cheer.
But this year is especially important, because it’s the BIG 5-0!
The Ponte Vedra Recorder was first published in 1969, and your community paper wants to celebrate its 50th birthday with you. Send us your stories, photos or memories from that year in our Northeast Florida paradise. What did the area look like back then? Where did you go to school? Where did you shop? Where did you go out to eat? Which beach did you head to for a swim in the sea?
If you were lucky enough to live here in 1969, what chapter of life were you in? Send us school photos, wedding pictures, grinning -little-kid-on-the-beach pictures. Tell us what sports activities you were involved in, where you hung out, what type of clothes you wore, and where.
For lifelong residents, what changes through the years strike you as the most notable? What has changed for the better? What was better back then?
For newcomers, tell us why you now call this area home. Because the memories you are making today will be interesting to people in the future.
Email your photos and memories to maggie@opcfla.com with “Cheers to 50 years” in the subject line. Thank you!
