## Laugh Your Shells Off: Natalie Cuomo & Dan LaMorte Bring the Heat to Naples (Eventually!) Okay, Naples folks, listen up! I know, I know, the headline’s a little misleading.

## Making a Splash at 85: Naples’ Water Aerobics Queen Shows Us How to Age Gracefully (and Energetically!) Let’s be honest, turning 85 isn’t exactly something most of us are looking forward to with cartwheels and backflips (unless you happen to be Naples’ very own water aerobics extraordinaire, Pat Henry!).
