A MUSEUM MUST SEE

By Andrea Marroquin
In March of 1921, a Tiffany stained glass window was installed in Jekyll Island's Faith Chapel, portraying the theme, "David Set Singers Before the Lord."
The window was created in memory of Jekyll Island Club President Frederick Gilbert Bourne, head of the Singer Sewing Machine Company. The title playfully refers to Bourne's love of singing in the church choir as well as his great success in life.
This masterpiece was created by the Ecclesiastical department of Tiffany Studios. It proudly bears the signature of "Louis C. Tiffany N.J." in the lower right-hand corner.
Louis Comfort Tiffany, the son of

Tiffany & Co. founder Charles Lewis Tiffany, was an internationally acclaimed artist from the late 1800s. He said his life-long goal was the "pursuit of beauty." Tiffany was a painter and interior designer who became most famous for creating what he called "paintings in glass." He formed the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company in 1879. The work created at this studio revolutionized the art glass world.
Hand-crafted of favrile glass, Jekyll Island's Tiffany window was described by the New York Times as a "vivid composition of rich tones." Favrile glass, a Tiffany hallmark, is a swirling, opalescent art glass. Colors are imbedded into the glass, not painted on the surface, lending a glowing,

iridescent finish.
The upper window depicts Exodus 15: The Song of Moses, when God saved the Children of Israel from the Egyptians at the Red Sea. The lower window depicts 1 Kings 1 28-32: David pronouncing Solomon will succeed him, an important event in Jesus' ancestry. The work as a whole reveals, "the magical talent of Tiffany's artisans to convey the glory of God."
Tiffany Studios produced approximately 25,000 windows in America between 1883 and 1931. Faith Chapel's radiant Tiffany window is considered "among the most vibrant Tiffany's ever made."
Historic Faith Chapel is open for viewing from 2-4 pm daily, free of charge but subject to availability, as

the Chapel also serves as a popular event space for weddings. The Tiffany window makes a lovely backdrop for late afternoon ceremonies.
For information about the availability of Faith Chapel for your special event, please contact Museum Specialist Clint Joiner, 912-635-4403.

PERFECT DRAWL

Southern Charm and Warm Personality leave mark on Jekyll

Johnny Paulk is a modern-day Rhett Butler.

Daily clad in classic golf attire, and two-tone shoes, he is immediately known by his welcoming, Georgia drawl.

"Johnny is a true Southern gentleman," Georgia PGA Executive Director, Michael Paull, said. "He is the consummate pro and always goes out of his way to make you feel special."

The Valdosta, Georgia native has been doing that as Georgia PGA professional for an amazing 50 years.

One month before The Beatles made their 1964 American television debut, live on the Ed Sullivan Show, Paulk made his entrance as a PGA professional, minus the screaming teenage girls.

"When you think of Jekyll Island, you think of great golf and Johnny Paulk."

"When I started," Paulk said, "I never thought I'd go this far. I worked for Mr. Harold Sargent, former PGA president, at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta and took advantage of it. It's all about work ethic."
He worked from "sun up to sun down" never asking what time he could leave work or "how many vacation days" he would get each year. The opportunity to even play a round was as rare as a day off.
"We could only play on Sunday mornings," Paulk recalled. "Now, I'm a good Catholic boy, so I would go to Mass first. While there, I would recruit some boys to go play with me. After finishing, I gave lessons the rest of the day."
The majority of his 18,000 plus days as a PGA pro have been served on Jekyll Island.

Doug Hollandsworth, Founder/CEO of The Georgia Golf Trail

"In 1967, the state of Georgia asked Mr. Sargent to find someone to come to Jekyll Island and take over for Mr. Bean, who was retiring," said Paulk, who honeymooned on Jekyll with his wife, Virginia. "At first, I wasn't that interested. I was talking with other clubs, but I decided to look into it further."
Jekyll Island is blessed the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame member did.
"When you think of Jekyll Island," said Doug Hollandsworth, Founder/CEO of The Georgia Golf Trail, "you think of great golf and Johnny Paulk."
During his tenure, Jekyll's golfing landscape has significantly evolved. The current clubhouse was

built, and Indian Mound, the island's third and final course was added in 1975. The original pro shop is now inhabited by McCormick's Grill and the "cart barn" is now the current pro shop.
In the words of Jones Hooks, Jekyll Island's executive director, Paulk "is Jekyll's ultimate ambassador" and has "supported every conceivable golf tournament from the Georgia National Guard to US Kids Golf World Championship." The Georgia PGA President's Award winner is also the creator of the highly successful Georgia-Florida Golf Classic, which enters its 35th consecutive year in 2014.
"Johnny delivers a measure of comfort at Jekyll Island," said Mike Waldron, LPGA Manager of Rules and Competition. "When you arrive and

see him, you know you are going to get consistency in service from everyone involved there. He always treats the next customer like the last one, as if he's the most important."
In 1979, his former East Lake boss invited him to be the announcer on the ninth hole at The Masters. He stayed there for 20 years until taking over for close friend Leo Beckmann on the famed 18th.
Rhett Butler in a red coat is not hard to miss, though. His friendly charm has endeared him to fans and players alike.
"I like seeing Johnny out there every time I finish a round," former PGA champion and close friend Davis Love III remarked. "It's a great tradition the Masters has, and he does a great job."

The Albany High School product has been showered, for his great work, with a host of honors that includes the Governor's Faithful Service Award, Georgia PGA Public Merchandiser of the Year three times, Spalding Professional of the Year and twice the Georgia PGA Eastern Chapter's Professional of the Year.
In 2011, Paulk received the Calvin Lee Murphy Award from the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association. Fittingly, it is given to a recipient "with a strong commitment to promote, preserve and strengthen the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association with activities that foster positive influences on both coaches and athletes in Georgia."
In 2009, Johnny was inducted into

the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame.
Jekyll Island's current director of golf can attest to Paulk's personal impact.
"Johnny gave me my first opportunity in the golf business," Rob Ellis said. "I wasn't sure if it was the career path for me, but he gave me a chance and now I have the distinct honor to continue his legacy on Jekyll Island."
"When people think of Jekyll Island golf, there is no way to not mention Johnny Paulk. He laid the groundwork to everything that we are building on today. He epitomizes what it means to be a gentleman of the game and everything the PGA of America stands for."

A Grateful Life
A Gift to Treasure
By Lauren Garvey agratefullife.weebly.com
My dad delivered a very special gift to me; he brought me my grandmother's recipe boxes. Sometimes the simplest gesture becomes our greatest treasures. It was such a kind thing for him to do and I felt truly honored to have the little alphabetized index cards with her magical ingredients on them.
Having loved her cooking, I was certain I would find something to make that very day! Surprisingly, I found myself not so much looking at the ingredients, but staring at her handwriting. As my Grammie grew older, she and I wrote many letters to one another. Looking at her handwriting flooded me with special memories of a grandmother I adored but had tucked away in my mind for another day. That day was here and although I was sad she is no longer with me on earth, I found she is still so very much alive in my heart.
I remember vividly sitting in her kitchen while she cooked for us. It smelled so delicious and she catered to everyone, making sure we all had whatever we wanted. She involved us in preparing the meals or snacks and I am sure that started my love of cooking and being in the kitchen with my family.
She was a tiny woman, only 4'11", and she always smelled of Avon Skin So Soft. It is one of my favorite scents to this day. I sometimes slept in her bed and I would listen to her praying very quietly to herself before falling asleep. I remember riding in her giant Cadillac to go get her hair done. I remember her laughter and how she sometimes teared up if something struck her as particularly funny. So very sweet and special to me.
I am using her recipes now just like she did all those years ago. Each time I do, I see her smile, I hear her laugh and every now and then, I can smell, very faintly, Avon Skin So Soft.
Thank you Dad for the recipes, but more importantly the
memories that came along with them. Thank you Grammie,
for all of the special times and for loving us so much!
