Guests become citizens in Pensacola

A Navarre resident was one of about 100 people representing 41 countries to become a naturalized citizen during a ceremony Feb. 25 at the Governor Perry home in Pensacola.

“I felt welcomed,” said Seabolt.
According to a press release from the Office of the Clerk of the U.S. District Court, United States District Judge  M. Casey Rodgers presided over the ceremony, joined by United States Magistrate Judge Miles Davis and Circuit Court Judge T. Michael Jones, First Judicial Circuit, State of Florida.
Seabolt is originally from Japan and said the biggest difference for her is having to speak English all of the time, but her favorite part of living in this area is the weather and being so close to the beach.

In the original story it was mistakenly written that Seabolt was a Gulf Breeze resident. She is from Navarre. We regret this error.
