Love blooms at The Palms at Ponte Vedra

Linda Wilson had just volunteered to be an ambassador in her retirement community, The Palms at Ponte Vedra. And she was excited when she received her first assignment — a newcomer she was to greet and show around.

When she got the piece of paper with the person’s name on it, she assumed it would be a woman.

“But when I looked at it, I said, ‘oh, it’s a man,’” Wilson said one recent day during lunch in the dining room.

“And it was this man,” she said, pointing to Kay Campbell, the handsome gray-haired man next to her. “And he’s been with me ever since.”
