bad jokes he tells in the trolley depot. David moved to Florida
in 1980 where he has lived ever since. He’s been with
Old Town Trolley Tours for over three years now and gives
one of the funniest tours in town. |

 Stephen
was born in Richmond, Indiana, too long ago. He spent most
of his life there waiting to find the perfect ancient city
that he could feel comfortable in, in his prime. St. Augustine
proved to be even old enough for him. Stephen loves to teach
all the 4th graders that come here, the wonderful ancient
history of this city. He also teaches current history at
Flagler College. Living in St. Augustine has provided him
with the opportunity to become part of early history that
Indiana could have never done. |

 Friar
Bob is a Pennsylvania native and has lived in the Oldest
City for 30 years. He got sand in
his shoes on the beach here in St. Augustine, on a visit,
way back in 1964. If that happens to you, you'll have to
come back too, just like Friar Bob did in 1977. Friar Bob
thinks St. Augustine is a good place to live and Pennsylvania,
a good place to visit, in the summer only, in good weather
only, on weekends only.

 Charles' life began the day he met Miss Roberta. They traveled here and there "wherever Chuck was stationed" as Roberta puts it. After raising children and working a lot, Charles and Roberta purchased a RV and hit the road traveling. They both seemed to like St. Augustine so they stayed a winter, (now two). Charles could not get the driving bug out of his system, so while his lovely wife tells the prisoners what to do in the Old Jail, he drives the trolleys all around town, but he eventually arrives back at the Old Jail. |
