Amelia Island

Who would have Believed right here in Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, there would be a movie made. I mean a Real one that would go coast to coast.

I remember it well. All of Fernandina showed up to watch it being done. You know what I mean.

Before they started filming I walked into one of our breakfast places and walked by this guy that looked just like Dick Van Patten.

I thought what a coincidence that this guy looks so much like him. I didn’t know It was really him and he was going to be in the movie.

I Decided to see if I had a chance to be an extra in the movie.

I was lucky and got in the movie. It was real exciting to do it.

The moral of the story is you never know who you are going to see on Amelia Island. You might be shocked to know who has stayed here.
