The Captiva Island Historical Society (CIHS) celebrated the 70th anniversary of the book “Gift from the Sea,” written by Anne Morrow Lindbergh, at its season-opening event on Dec. 3 at the Captiva Civic Center on Captiva. Titled “Anne Morrow and More,” the stage production was written by CIHS archivist Queenie Viglione and told the story of what inspired Lindbergh to write the classic book during time spent on Captiva in the 1950s. Captiva resident Lisa Riordan portrayed Lindbergh for the program, and CIHS Board Member Capt. Brian Holaway served as emcee. Florida Trust Wealth Management is the presenting sponsor for the CIHS’ season.
