Audrey Cleary Bailey, 76, advocated for military families - Port City Daily
Wednesday, December 02, 2020Mrs. Bailey was born Aug. 31, 1944, in Paterson, New Jersey, daughter of the late Edward Aubrey Cleary and Evelyn Grande Cleary.Mrs. Bailey was a proud U.S. Navy spouse, reporter for WDSU T.V. in New Orleans, worked for Admiral Rickover in his last days and she was an advocate on Capitol Hill, sometimes political, but always with the aim of improving the lives of military families. Mrs. Bailey had been active in support for military families as a young wife and mother, as only a Navy wife can be, while the ship was away at sea for six or more months at a time. As her husband rose in rank, her responsibilities to the military family grew until she was able to affect change at the national level.She was an early advocate for the Vietnam era Prisoners of War (POW) and those missing in action, wearing a bracelet with a POW’s name on it for years until his return to the United States. She was a working mother in the days when it was a rarity. She was active in the Rotary Club in Winston-Salem as well as a volunteer in the Neonatal Intensive Care unit.Her overriding passion in her life was her husband. He was her hero. After Capt. Bailey had finally retired, he was afflicted with Alzheimer’s. Mrs. Bailey was tireless in her care for him and in her search for new and different treatment options. One of the more unique treatments she found was an actual service dog trained in PTSD support from Paws for Vets, Gracie, who would center Capt. Bailey’s last years. Gracie would go on to serve... https://portcitydaily.com/obits/2020/11/30/audrey-cleary-bailey-76-advocated-for-military-families/
Luxury Blooms in the Florida Keys - Luxury Travel Advisor
Monday, April 27, 2020Irma.There’s the only soft sand beach in the Keys and a New Orleans chef will stand by your side as you clean and cook your catch of sustainable fish, caught in the morning in partnership with the Docks to Dish program.Conservation has an emotional appeal in the Keys, and Baker’s Cay serves as the benchmark for sustainability within the Curio family. There are no single use plastics; the laundry bags are reusable; the rooms sport pencils instead of pens; many of the vegetables and peppers used in the restaurant are grown on the roof.Come bedtime, retire to any of the 10 one-bedroom waterfront suites with their views of Florida Bay — but opt for the corner rooms, 400 (in the quieter Hammock Wing) or 456 (in the more vibrant Coconut Wing), which have wrap-around terraces. For families, consider the Baker’s Cay Suite, which has a kitchen.The food is hot in more ways than one; executive chef Andy Papson brews 100 bottles a week of his famous hot sauces, makes his own seafood sausage and decorates his Key lime pie wedding cakes with edible flowers. Grab a swing at one of the tables overlooking the beach and try the short ribs with vanilla beans and honey.If you’re a Hilton Honors member, check out the special reception every Thursday.With 100 brides a year coming to Baker’s Cay, the onsite Aveda salon offers hair, massage and full bridal styling.
