Amy Bennett Williams - Wednesday @ 8:34am

Amy Bennett Williams has been writing about the people and places of Southwest Florida for well over a decade.

She left to edit Gulfshore Life Magazine for five years, was named Florida Magazine Association’s Editor of the Year in 1997 and returned to the News-Press in 1998.
