Ask a questionAbout June Taylor Wolcott
Rob, originally from Toledo, OH, is an economist by background and spent a career at the US EPA working on numerous health and environmental issues -- such as getting lead out of gasoline and reducing water pollution runoff from agricultural lands. June, a Californian who grew up at Lake Tahoe, is an environmental reporter/consultant who most recently has focused on climate change. They live at Bethany part-year and other times in Silver Spring, MD.
June Taylor Wolcott purchased this House in 1997
Why June Taylor Wolcott chose Bethany Beach
We'd rented this house for many years when the owners (Rob's mentor, Allen Ferguson and his wife Audrey) decided to sell it. The Ferguson's were early purchasers in the little bayside waterfront community of Bay View Park and got the lot with the BEST VIEW. The serenity of watching sunset from the deck is something we wanted to keep -- and share with others.
What makes this House unique
Being able to have 2 vacations in one -- the bay side with bird watching and kayaking and the beach with body surfing and fun in the sand -- make this a unique vacation spot. The community of Bay View Park offers a quiet retreat even in the busy summer season. Many people like our varied collection of artworks from around the world. (And many by the original owner Audrey Ferguson.)
