The Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce held a luncheon at the Mutiny Hotel on Friday. Atchana's East/West Kitchen provided the food -- buffet style. From left: David Guzikowski, Chamber Administrator; Sylvia Quinn, Mutiny Hotel and Nathalie Betancourt, Seaquarium.
Now this is freaky, at left is Jorge Peña with Peter Laird. Jorge is the original owner of The Coconut Grove Grapevine, when it was a newspaper in the early 1980s. I knew Jorge way back when, I used to do the typsetting and paste-up for the paper, that's where I got the name for the current Grapevine. I hadn't seen Jorge since maybe 1983. I recognized the name, not him, but it was such a nice surprise. His office used to be on Bird Avenue, above the laundry. That was the original office of the Grapevine.
At right are Atchana Capellini with Monty Trainer.
Kent Jurney, Beatriz Newoom, Rob Cedeno and Vestalia Aylsworth. Rob owns Level Fitness Studios, in the same shopping center where Jorge used to have the Grapevine.
