Gman as Bnewb says that is Brimsley. After the Villas I'm not sure where he went, perhaps others know. Great guy!!!

Brimsley was the main bartender at Roots Bamboo for years in the 90's-00's, and the last place I saw him working was at Canoe for their anniversary party!

Brimsley is the man!

I, too, stayed in Red Ground at Miss Pernells. The days of no electricity, outdoor showers and bathrooms. Meals with the family. Such great memories. I was there in January of 1974 for 6 weeks. We returned for a few years and knew the family well. I think the price was 5$/night. I walked up that way last reach, the road is different. I wish I would have seen Patrick, Dalton was 16 when we first visited. We ended up at Miss Pernells because Grandmas didn't have any rooms left. We always had the room by the porch. What a great flashback! I'm going to dig for pictures.
Remember walking the beach and not seeing anyone?! No buildings, just a beautiful, pristine beach. Those were the days!
