WHERE CREDIT IS DUE . . .

You just have no idea what you can make happen when you walk into a marina with five beatiful women, a photographer, camera equipment, bags of makeup and hair=styling appliances and an entire car load of clothing, jewelry, hats and 20 pairs of shoes.

We shot much of our summer color story out at Smith Mountain Lake at Bridgewater Plaza. And when we turned up on the doorstep of Bridgewater Plaza Marina and Boat Rental with no place to dress the models, Ed Waters and Bill Kemp sprung into action.

In a matter of minutes they virtually emptied a storage room of paperwork, fishing poles and life preservers. They cleared an entire corner of the store to make a place to keep the clothing.

When a customer walked in and found a couple of dresses hung over hooks displaying fishing lures, she remarked, "Oh, look! They're carrying dresses now, too!"

Designer dresses are just about the only thing you can't get at Bridgewater Marina.

As we left, our models dressed up in all the thnigs you can buy there and posed with Ed.

Thanks also to Mary Lynn and Lee Tucker over at the Manpor at Taylor's store at Smith Mountain for providing us with an appropriately romantic setting to shoot our story about the return of feminine dresses.

And to Debbie and Eddie Shelton and Ronnie Shelton for letting us hang out with their cows at the Diamond "S" Ranch in Glade Hill.
