If you haven't already heard the sad news, Roverta "Bo" Boen passed away this past Tuesday, March 9th, from health complications. If you don't know who Bo was, she was the owner of one of the first (and oldest) gay bars in the state of Florida, Bo's Coral Reef, in Jacksonville Beach and she was active in the GLBT community. If you want to attend her services or funeral, here's the information. Thanks for the update of CORRECT info Tim

So sad to see her go. I wonder what will become of the bar?
she was gay? I find that hard to believe.
