Verdala's palm tree in 2010 ©596 viewsJane Banks (formerly Stubbs) put this on the Verdala site after the reunion of 2010. She was the life and soul of the party but very sadly died four months later. Her husband Charlie took this and I know she would have been happy for it to be on the THN site.2 commentsOldBat
