Tonight, Bette, the Kingstons and I headed on down to the San Marco Theatre for a performance of "Discovering Henry Flagler," a one-man performance by a fellow named Paul Jellinek. The 90 minute, two-act play narrated the life and times of Mr Henry Flagler, who is basically responsible for opening up much of Florida to the rest of the US by the introduction of his railroads and hotels. He started in St.Augustine, then later expanded to Palm Beach, Miami, and eventually all the way down to Key West. It was a very interesting play to watch, and we all learned a lot about St Augustine we didn't know. Unfortunately, just before the performance, a lady attending took a nasty fall, and cracked her head on a seat back- and twisted her ankle in the fall also. We hope she is not seriously injured- she left, we hope to be taken to the emergency room for observation. Hope she recovers! We enjoyed the foray into the local lore. Flagler was certainly an interesting fellow- 
Mr Jellinek in character.
