Snowbirds Dave and Sharyl Nye have been wintering on Navarre Beach at the Summerwinds Resort for five years from Decatur, AL which is 30 minutes from the border of Tennessee. And, yes, Dave is a distant relative of Bill Nye the Science guy. “You can trace every “Nye” to a guy that came over from England,” said Dave. Dave has never met Bill Nye but they have science in the gene pool. Dave retired as a chemist from General Electric and his wife, Sharyl retired as a technical specialist for a school system. South Dakota is “home” for both of them because that is where they met. They have two children, Greg and Susan and five grandchildren.
