    The St. Augustine Historical Society’s (SAHS) honorary lifetime board members, Gloria Jones and Dr. Pete Gregory met with others to celebrate a milestone, giving their appreciation and approval of the progress Sept. 27..

    Restoring the Badin-Roque House became a SAHS goal in 2014 with the idea for creating a park at the historic site by the late Van Lacour Jr.

    Faithful and resilient efforts faced limited funds in a postpandemic economy and proved to be successful.
