Edelcup, Mayor 18070 Collins Avenue Sunny Isles Beach,Fl 33160 Dear Mayor Edelcup, After ten years of research, documentation, writing and editing, I am excited that my book,Baker's Haulover-A Maritime Treasure of History and Pioneers is almost ready for publication. This history deals with the Baker whom I researched as the namesake of this site (1804), its first charter boat captains (and those at Sunny Isles), speedboat drivers and other first pioneers on this land in North Miami Beach along with certain celebrities that visited there. Just as the State of Florida Haulover Historical Marker (2004) that I helped establish, is the only marker, out of 500 in the state for a fishing dock, so this book is the only one on the subject of Baker's Haulover and its charter boat captains. More than one chapter is about early Sunny Isles. (Thank you and your staff for assisting me in my research in the past.) I'm asking for your support in my efforts to meet the huge publication costs of this historical,first edition, commemorative hardback book, in order to preserve this period of Miami's history and the legacy of this 'site for Florida. Your monetary contribution will entitle you to a dedication line at the front of the book for the City of Sunny Isles Beach. Enclosed are some commentaries by respected historians and writers concerning the 430 pages and over 500 images, the Table of Contents and the inside back flap. Barry University President in Miami Shores, Sister Linda Belvilacqua, OP, PhD. and Florida Senator Gwen Margolis, have told me to plan for first book signings at the Barry campus and the Miami Beach City Hall.

Apt!" •, ti v t, ffi Y Courtesy of Sue Cocking,the Miami Herald. The Harbour House,seen behind the author in 2000, is one of many early landmarks no longer present in the 1 . Baker's Haulover landscape.The Lighthouse Restaurant and the Haulover Pier are also missing with no markers or reminders of their past. This book recognizes those absent landmarks and finally provides a written account of their existence in history. Martha Saconchik-Pytel is a native Miamian and calls Tallahassee her second home. She graduated from Barry University in Miami Shores with a master's degree in guidance and counseling and went on to be a school psychologist. She has served as a past president of the Tallahassee Historical Society and is presently the historian for three organizations.As a consultant,she has researched history for historical markers and in 2006, wrote the copy for and was instrumental in placing a State of Florida Historical Landmark Marker in Miami at the site of the Pioneer Boat Builders'Shop-1947. For this book, she has chronicled a lost maritime treasure of history and heritage at Baker's Haulover. Through more than 400 interviews and tape recordings she has sought to preserve an early era never before documented. Many of the early pioneers interviewed have since passed and if not for this author's research, their first-hand dialogues would be lost forever.
