CRYSTAL DIAMOND

For most of my working life prior to leaving Tampa, I worked with this great lady, Crystal Diamond, who was the front end manager of Carrollwood Village Golf & Country Club. This picture was taken about eight years after I left Tampa. My dad must have seen her at some event. I have never seen this shot before posting it today. She could be tough when she wanted to be, but she was truly one of the warmest people you'd ever meet. I was happy to work with her, and she took care of me, along with Lois Koch. Some of the happiest days of my life. They were both there for a lot of my growing up.
