John ldquo;Brandyrdquo; Siebenaler and his wife; Marjorie; founded the Gulfarium; the first marine attraction of its kind on the Florida Panhandle. Since the gates first swung open in 1955; guests flocked to the Gulfarium. Displays of live specimens collected from the nearby Gulf of Mexico waters by Brandy; his associates; and Destinrsquo;s fishing families gave visitors a chance to view life below the sea as they had never seen it before. The parkrsquo;s spectacular dolphin shows gained national recognition; and the high-flying porpoises were trained by none other than Marjorie; who quickly became an acclaimed expert for her innate ability to connect with the animals. Beyond the on-cue performances of sky-high leaps; hoop jumps; and clever antics in the pool; the Gulfarium is part of a greater mission. It plays a critical role in the rescue; rehabilitation; and release of stranded marine mammals; sea turtles; and other native wildlifemdash;a need it has continued to serve for more than half a century.
