Deisher called me last night to tell me that Lindy died Saturday. Didn't give me any details, but whoever the doctor doing the autopsy is may have a chance to become famous. Think about THAT...

omg...That is so sad!!! He was a fixture of Cruz Bay. I hope he didn't suffer and is in a much better life...my girls will be so upset to hear. No disrespect to Lindy...they called him "Townie Man" and we always looked for him when we came on our vacation.

A false story of Lindy's death seems to rear up every few years. Ruth is always the one to let us know he's alive and kicking.

He's a local man that you will see around Cruz Bay. He is very thin. I believe he is mentally ill and homeless, but I am not 100% certain on that.

Lindy like Patrina and many others are town fixures. Yes, they are mentally ill but they are known....
and left be.....
I had not seen 'ghost' in quite a bit.....

I think I know who he might be if he hangs out in the park area. I hate to admit that we got a kick out of watching the antics of the "regulars" in the park. Whoever has the bottle is sure popular.

Didn't Ghost get sent back to the states for some old warrant? NY I thought. I thought I remembered reading that in the Tradewinds a few months ago (we get it here a few weeks late...)

It is so odd that just last night Gromit and I and our husbands were discussing some of the local color of STJ. I am glad that Lindy is alive and "well".
So we had a question, is Patrina one and the same w/ the spitting lady? We have seen Patrina and she has always been ok to us, so we were wondering if maybe someone was hostile to her and she spit on them, or if it was a different lady altogether.
Anyone know?

Yes, I always enjoyed hanging with him at the Beach Bar. He would just recite the most amazing poems for hours if you wanted. He is missed.

Patrina has been known to spit.........she has been known to come out right in your face and shove you.....
most on island just leave her be.......
Lindy is not violent, just needs a bath......
