Growing Up on Sanibel features Deb Gleason. This first of five Sanibel Island documentaries sponsored by Pfeifer Realty Group highlights four generations of people who grew up on Sanibel. The film will features some long–time Sanibel residents who either grew up here, or who moved here in their early adult years, and who raised families here. An additional focus to adults who grew up here takes a nostalgic look back at their experience growing up Sanibel Island. Finally, current “Sanibel kids” are featured, with glimpses into their island lives.
Deb McQuade Gleason came in 1958 to Sanibel. She and her twin brother and older sister attended the small Sanibel school all together with one teacher. There were 25 kids all together until the McQuade family came with 3 kids boosting the enrollment to 28. They then went to Cypress Middle School in Fort Myers. It was amazing that one teacher teaching 6 different grade levels did an amazing job and all the kids went on to become very successful.
