From his home on the east coast of Florida, a 12 year old youth gazed eastward over the azure waters of the Atlantic Ocean and asked "What is out there". Carl Allen, now a retired and very successful Texas businessman who is also the stepson of the Walgreens founder, today owns what is out there -- Walkers Cay in the northern fringe of the Bahamas.
Allen is a fisherman and philanthropist who, together with his wife Gigi have rebuilt Walkers Cay into a fisherman's paradise complete with dockage for yachts up to 200 feet and an airstrip for small aircraft. He has rebuilt his island paradise from the ruins of three major hurricanes in recent years.
Allen is also the name behind Allen Exploration -- a treasure and maritime artifact search company so successful that an entire maritime museum has been built in Port Lucaya, Freeport, Bahamas to house the treasure and artifacts.
It is the Bahamas Maritime Museum and it is NOW OPEN.
Carl and Gigi Allen invited Sam Yates, your information guru and information anchorman to their home to share their story in a series of episodes for the Florida, Ohio, and Texas Business Forum Podcasts and the Great American Senior Show.
