Spreuken over Familie

Owning the Blues has been a wonderful life experience for our family. We'll miss the thrills of arriving on game night, the big wins, the loyal fans and the best people in the world -- and that's hockey people -- the staff, players, coaches, trainers and everyone associated with the game. We fell in love with hockey and we'll always love the Blues.

What we've been seeing over the last few years is a lot of families moving north into Martin and St. Lucie counties because they can get more bang for their buck, and they're commuting to Palm Beach County for work. Three years ago, you could buy what was going for $350,000 here, you could buy for $150,000 there. But that's changing. Now those are getting up in the $300,000 range, too.

It's my guide to run my life and raise my family. I never thought about that before.

I sincerely appreciate the cooperation of their family in arranging for their surrender, ... The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division and U.S. Marshals Service provided invaluable assistance in this case.

That's the great thing about Ronnie Barker - he wrote for the family audience.
