January Living Legend Glen Tyre

What Makes a Living Legend? Living Legends are people from the Lake County community that have a

story to tell about their time in the community, one that we don’t want to see lost to time. These folks

have usually been around a long time and have gained the experience and knowledge that goes along with

their story, which makes it so interesting to the rest of us. We are videotaping their stories for future

generations to see, hear and learn from, as well as for all of us to enjoy. They will be kept in the Historical

Museum. If you know someone you would like to nominate as a possible future Living Legend, please

contact us at eustismuseum@gmail.com, call 352-483-0046 or see Timothy Totten at a museum event.

Business Member Ads

One of the benefits of being a member of the museum if you’re a business member

is having your business card ad in the newsletter at least once a year.

The Greyhound Bus Depot was at 25 East Macdonald Avenue during the late 1960s. The sign next to the door is for the

Orlando Sentinel Agency. My thanks to Nancy Flint at the Eustis Memorial Library for finding the depot's address. This

photograph is in the library's collection.
