I was reading article about the breezy house. I remember coming down to visit back in the 80`s. Liz and Russ always invited people in to socialize. As I recall Russ had come to Provo around 1972 when Provident was first organizing Provo. He worked as a Realtor and Land development. They had in those days lived in Owen Gassaways house in Long bay hills. They then built their first house in Longbay hills. Of course it was very simple. Liz helped with the office work and they both didnt have much. It wasnt till later on they lived in other homes while owners where away. They got into property management and some real estate sales. Not to mention names of now or former expats they all knew and respected each other. Sure their where hardships and everyone got through them. I remember Liz’s son’s where here for a short time. Also her cousin and mother used to visit. Russ’s two sons and daughter would frequent a visit here now and then. Its kind of funny now that we think back. My wife and I remember Liz’s younger son was always the Mr. fix it. I remember coming from Long Bay hills and saw us broke down on the side of the road. We had a hose broken and he had taped it up. Threw some water in the old beater we where driving. Got us back to town. We had met Liz and Russ for lunch at the Erebus then. We explained our situation. We told them this fella by the name of jim or tim came by. I remember Liz laughing and saying it was her son that was their at Christmas time. Needless to say Liz and Russ where always willing to go out of their way for friends new or old ones. We where sad to know that as the years passed so did they. We will never forget their hospitality in the Breezy House.

The article is nice and all that. Only authors have left some things out. It focused on Russ Decoudres family and not Liz Deccoudres. As usual some people when they write about things leave alot out. This is a typical case with this article. Not that it matter much now. However when you write about things as they where one needs to include the whole story which was not told in this case. I personally have stayed with Russ and Liz many times while they lived in this home. Russ didnt move to Myrtle,Beach. He was living in ormond beach fla. His wife Liz having health problems in her home town of Orlando, Florida. She died at Florida Hospital in Orlando Florida. Russ then flew back and forth from Florida and Providenciales. Liz had been staying in a small duplex with Russ while undergoing test. Patty Cooper was also by Liz’s side. Patty Cooper was married to Bob Cooper of WIV TV Provo. He had started the first tv station their. Their where alot of expats that Liz and Russ new. So many still their and they know the story. Not much was ever said about Liz`s Kids most unfortunate. Cause they visited often along with other family members such as her own mother. So much time has gone by now. So much has been forgotten about people that started the island. Oh yeah some even werent their as it happened. Amazing how stories can be told. Providenciales was a magical place in those days. Too bad it was told how it really was. She is still a wonderfull place. Take care of her island chain.

I stayed there one night long time ago but the memories have become more like a distant dream. It is a special place.
