A story that had to be shared
“This was a story that had to be shared,” said Merwin. “Like most St. Augustinians, I see Roosevelt and Rufus working on a daily basis. They not only share the city’s unique history with thousands of passengers, the two of them serve as dignified and compelling hosts for visitors to the nation’s oldest city.”
