Palm Beach County Native, Bobby Culpepper, tells "what really happened" in his memoir of his time growing up and becoming involved in the development of the town of Jupiter and Palm Beach County.
Culpepper was born in Kelsey City (Lake Park), served as the mayor of Jupiter from 1966 to 1968, was a Palm Beach commissioner from 1968 to 1976, and was instrumental in acquiring land for public use in Palm Beach County, among many other community improvements and endeavors.
ÒSome of the public parks and beaches that exist in Palm Beach County today may not have ever been public had it not been for his efforts during the 1970s to promote opening access and buying, through public bonds, beachfront property,Ó says Gayle Pallesen.
