...with. After Scott's death in 1996, King persevered for eight years but finally sold the club to British theater impresario Sally Greene. "I got a fantastic club that has been run by two amazing men for the last 45 years," says Greene, who knows nostalgia is a tricky tune to play right. "It's exactly the way it was before," she reassures, "only polished up."

...More than a lot of people, Biles is in tune with "what's me and what isn't." Take competing, for example. Though she took it up only when she came to Gerringong, she's now devoted to surfing. And she's good at it. Other beachgoers say she's probably the best female surfer in town; certainly the keenest. But when friends urge her to enter competitions, she just shakes her head.
