Students from Fort Myers Beach Elementary School led the crowd in the national anthem and a beautiful memorial painting was unveiled and presented to the Town by Ed and Kim Ryan of Beach Talk Radio.  


Following the ceremony at Bayside Park, the crowd moved to Times Square where the new clock was unveiled by donors George and Linda Merschman. Several hundred more people watched the unveiling.
