Realtor knew Cape Coral in earliest days [South Florida]
Gloria Raso Tate remembers Cape Coral as it used to be, before the population hit six digits, five digits or even four.
Tate is a Realtor with Raso Realty in Cape Coral, a firm started by her late father, Joe Raso.
Just 400 people inhabited the Cape when Tate, then 9, her four sisters and their parents, Joe and Gloria, moved there in 1960 from Pittsburgh.
After graduating from North Fort Myers High School in 1967, she continued her education at Edison College and Florida State University, where she received a degree in 1971.
