Mary Werbelow biography part 1 (part 2)

Early years and relationship with Jim Morrison

Mary Werbelow was born in July 1944 and she came from a very strict Catholic family.

[Mary when she was 12 years old. Ebay]

In Summer 1962 she was just finishing her junior year at Clearwater High, when Mary and best friend Mary Wilkin spread their beach blanket near Pier 60, she was 17, and met Jim Morrison, who had been sent here by his father, then a Navy captain, after he blew off his high school graduation ceremony in Virginia. He had just finished the year at St. Petersburg Junior College and lived with his grandparents.

Mary was on the high school homecoming court. Her friends did cotillion dances at the Jack Tar Harrison Hotel, hit Brown Brothers dairy store for burgers and malts, and shopped Mertz's records for Ben E. King, Del Shannon and Elvis Presley.

Jim read his poetry at the avant-garde Beaux Arts coffeehouse in Pinellas Park and visited St. Pete's only live burlesque show, at the Sun Art Theater on Ninth Street.

Friends who thought they knew Mary couldn't fathom why she would want to hang out with Jim Morrison. What they didn't know was how out of place Mary felt in her social circle. Jim talked like no one she had met. "We connected on a level where speaking was almost unnecessary. We'd look at each other and know what we were thinking." He recited long poems from memory.

[L-R: Andy - Jim's younger brother - Mary and Jim pictured in Summer 1962. The Doors by The Doors & Ben Fong Torres]

She liked her alone time, in her bedroom, dancing and drawing. Jim liked his alone time, in his bedroom, reading. They skipped dances and football games and hung out, at her house or at his grandparents' house.

When Jim drove, Mary kept a notebook at the ready. "Write this!" he'd say, dictating an observation. Or he'd pull over and scribble himself. "He was a genius," Mary says. "He was incredible."

Mary says he rarely drank in her presence. "It was out of respect for me. We were in love, and he didn't want to do things that I didn't like."

At fall, Jim transferred to Florida State. Most weekends, rain or shine, he hitchhiked back to Clearwater, 230 miles down U.S. 19. Most days in between, letters postmarked Tallahassee arrived at the Werbelow mailbox on Nursery Road.

Mary's father intercepted one, read the page about sex and never got to the part that made clear Jim was writing about a class. Furious at her father's snooping, she burned all Jim's letters, a move she came to regret, deeply.

At Jim's direction, she wrote once a week and included the number of a public telephone in Clearwater and a time he should call. On his end, Jim would put in a dime for the first two minutes. They would talk for hours. On her end, Mary would loiter by the phone at the appointed hour.

[Mary early modelling shots, 1963. Ebay, tumblr ank links below]

On March 30, 1963 the Jaycees called to recruit Mary for the Miss Clearwater competition, Mary's mother answered the phone."Oh, yeah," she said, as Mary recalled "she'll be happy to do it." although Mary herself would have declined.

The third and final night of competition, more than 1,000 people packed Clearwater Municipal Auditorium. Five finalists matched "beauty, personality and poise." Mary was looking good, not that Jim was thrilled. If she won, it was on to Miss Florida. Mary performed body twirls. She did the bossa nova. Time for her big question: "If your husband grew a beard, what would you do?" she answered: "I'd let him grow it. Whether he would kiss me or not would be another matter."

She got first runner-up.

As Mary's father banned Jim from the Werbelow house, she followed him to Tallahassee for a semester, although her parents objected. in 1964, When he started film school at UCLA and Mary announced she was following him to Los Angeles, her parents were devastated.

Mary says Jim asked her to wear "something floaty" when she arrived in Los Angeles. "He wanted me to look like an angel coming off the plane." Instead, she drove out a week early and surprised him.

Together again, in an exciting, intimidating city, they kept separate apartments. By November 1964 Mary got her first real job, in the office of a hospital X-ray department. Later, she donned a fringe skirt and boots as a go-go dancer at Gazzari's on the Sunset Strip although Jim didn't like the idea. Later that month, she went to Celebrate Thanksgiving with Jim and his parents.

[Mary as a go-go dancer at Gazzari's on the Sunset Strip, 1964. Ebay]

Jim studied film. At the end of the year, a handful from among hundreds of student films were selected for public showing. Jim's was not among them. Shortly after, Mary says, he told her he was humiliated, considered his formal education over and needed to forget everything. He built a fire in his back yard and incinerated many of his precious Florida notebooks.

Mary says he started doubting her commitment. "You're going to leave me," he would tell her. "No, I'm not. How can you say that? I'm in love with you."

After one fight, Jim went out with another woman. He wasn't home the next morning. Mary went to the woman's house, but she said Jim wasn't there. Mary called: "Come out wherever you are!" Jim slinked forward, a hand towel around him. Mary bolted and, in a blur, hit the woman's fence as she sped off. "That was the beginning of the end."

He was drinking hard and taking psychedelic drugs. The darkness she had always seen seemed to be overtaking him, and she didn't want to watch him explore his self-destructive bent. And she felt he had swallowed her identity. Whatever he liked, she liked. "I had to go out and see what parts of that were me. I just knew I had to be away from him. I needed to be by myself, to find my own identity."

She enrolled in art school. The day Jim helped her move to a new apartment, she told him she needed a break. "He clammed up after that. I really hurt him. It hurts me to say that. I really hurt him."

They split up in the summer of 1965.

A few months later, Jim got together with a film school buddy, Ray Manzarek, who says he wanted to combine his keyboards with Jim's poetry. They started the band that became the Doors. "He didn't sit around and sing," Mary says, laughing. "Jim, no, he was a poet. He wrote poetry."

By phone from his home in Northern California, Manzarek says all the guys in film school were in love with Mary. She was gorgeous, and sweet on top of that. "She was Jim's first love. She held a deep place in his soul."

[Ray, Mary and Jim in a film from 1964/early 1965 when Ray & Jim were students at UCLA, from thedoorsareopened tiktok]

The Doors' 11-minute ballad The End, Manzarek says, originally was "a short goodbye love song to Mary." Doors drummer John Densmore stated: "Jim wrote The Crystal Ship for Mary Werbelow, a girlfriend with whom he was breaking up. . . . The song was a goodbye love song."

Jim Morrison took up with other women, notably with longtime companion Pam, but Mary says she and Jim kept up with each other. She says she was his anchor to the times before things got crazy. "I'd see him when he really needed to talk to someone."

She thought they were too young. She worried they might grow apart. She needed more time to explore her own identity, so by late 1968 to early-mid 1969, Mary moved to India to study meditation, while there, she wrote several letters to her parents. She never saw Jim again.

Diabetes: What It Is, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment & Types | Florida Endocrinology and Diabetes Center

Diabetes is a common yet complex condition that impacts millions of people worldwide, including residents of Pinellas Park, Tampa, and St. Petersburg, Florida. If left unmanaged, diabetes can lead to severe complications. At the Florida Endocrinology and Diabetes Center, we specialize in providing expert care and tailored treatment plans for managing diabetes.

This guide explains what diabetes is, its causes, symptoms, types, and treatments, ensuring you have the information you need to make informed decisions about your health.

What Is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood sugar (glucose) levels due to the body’s inability to produce or effectively use insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Over time, unmanaged diabetes can lead to serious health issues such as heart disease, kidney damage, nerve problems, and vision loss.

Causes of Diabetes

Several factors contribute to the development of diabetes:

Genetics: A family history of diabetes increases the likelihood of developing the condition.

Lifestyle Factors: Unhealthy diets, lack of physical activity, and obesity significantly increase the risk.

Autoimmune Response: In Type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.

Age: While diabetes can occur at any age, the risk increases as you grow older.

Hormonal Conditions: Disorders like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hormonal imbalances can predispose individuals to diabetes.

Common Symptoms of Diabetes

Recognizing the symptoms early is key to preventing complications. Here are the most common signs:

Excessive thirst and hunger

Frequent urination

Fatigue

Unexplained weight loss or gain

Blurred vision

Slow-healing wounds

Numbness or tingling in hands and feet

If you or a loved one in Pinellas Park, Tampa, or St. Petersburg experience any of these symptoms, schedule a consultation with a healthcare provider at the Florida Endocrinology and Diabetes Center.

Types of Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes

An autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system attacks insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.

Typically diagnosed in children and young adults.

Requires lifelong insulin therapy.

Type 2 Diabetes

The most common form of diabetes, where the body either resists insulin or doesn’t produce enough.

Often linked to obesity, sedentary lifestyles, and poor diet.

Can be managed with lifestyle changes, oral medications, and in some cases, insulin.

Gestational Diabetes

Occurs during pregnancy when hormones interfere with insulin usage.

Typically resolves after childbirth but increases the risk of Type 2 diabetes later in life.

Prediabetes

A condition where blood sugar levels are elevated but not high enough for a diabetes diagnosis.

A critical stage for intervention to prevent the onset of Type 2 diabetes.

Treatment Options for Diabetes

Managing diabetes requires a comprehensive approach tailored to each individual’s needs. Here are common treatments:

Lifestyle Changes

Adopting a balanced diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

Engaging in regular physical activity to improve insulin sensitivity and control weight.

Medications

Oral medications such as metformin or SGLT2 inhibitors to regulate blood sugar levels.

Injectable treatments, including GLP-1 receptor agonists and insulin therapy, for advanced cases.

Monitoring

Regular blood glucose monitoring using devices like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) or blood glucose meters.

Specialized Care

Partnering with endocrinology specialists ensures comprehensive care. At the Florida Endocrinology and Diabetes Center, we provide state-of-the-art treatment options and personalized plans.

Florida Endocrinology and Diabetes Center | Tampa Bay Endocrine

Endocrinology is a vital branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of hormone-related disorders. For residents in Pinellas Park, Tampa, St. Petersburg, and surrounding areas, the Tampa Bay Endocrine Center offers expert care tailored to manage conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, and other endocrine imbalances. Whether you’re seeking effective diabetes management or comprehensive thyroid evaluations, this guide explains how the Florida Endocrinology and Diabetes Center can help.

What is Endocrinology?

Endocrinology is the study of the endocrine system, which consists of glands that release hormones responsible for regulating bodily functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood. Common endocrine-related disorders include:

Diabetes Mellitus: A condition where the body struggles to regulate blood sugar levels.

Thyroid Disorders: Including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid nodules.

Adrenal and Pituitary Disorders: Imbalances in these glands can affect stress response and metabolism.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal condition often affecting women of reproductive age.

Why Choose a Specialized Endocrinology Center?

Managing endocrine disorders requires specialized knowledge and a personalized approach. At the Tampa Bay Endocrine Center, expert endocrinologists use the latest medical research, state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, and individualized care plans to help patients live healthier lives.

Diabetes Management in Tampa Bay

Comprehensive Diabetes Care

With diabetes becoming increasingly common, expert care is essential to prevent complications like heart disease, kidney damage, and vision loss. Tampa Bay Endocrine offers:

Advanced Diagnostic Testing: HbA1c tests, glucose monitoring, and insulin assessments.

Customized Treatment Plans: Combining medication, lifestyle changes, and technology like insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs).

Patient Education: Empowering patients to manage their diabetes through nutrition counseling and workshops.

Living with Diabetes in Florida

In Florida’s warm climate, managing diabetes comes with unique challenges. From staying hydrated to balancing blood sugar levels during outdoor activities, the experts at Tampa Bay Endocrine Center provide practical advice to help patients thrive year-round.

Thyroid Disorders: Diagnosis and Treatment

The thyroid gland plays a key role in metabolism, and its dysfunction can lead to significant health issues. Common conditions treated include:

Hypothyroidism: Symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, and depression.

Hyperthyroidism: Characterized by anxiety, weight loss, and irregular heartbeats.

Thyroid Nodules and Cancer: Early detection and treatment are critical.

Cutting-Edge Thyroid Care

Patients in Pinellas Park, Tampa, and St. Petersburg benefit from modern diagnostic tools such as thyroid ultrasounds and fine-needle aspiration biopsies. Treatment options include medication, radioiodine therapy, and, when necessary, surgery.

Expert Endocrinologists Serving Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay Endocrine Center is led by board-certified endocrinologists with years of experience managing complex hormonal disorders. Their patient-centric approach ensures every individual receives personalized care.

Why Tampa Bay Endocrine Stands Out

Convenient Locations: Serving residents across Pinellas Park, Tampa, and St. Petersburg.

Patient-Focused Care: Emphasis on education and empowerment.

Innovative Treatments: Access to cutting-edge therapies and clinical trials.

How to Get Started

Taking control of your endocrine health begins with scheduling an appointment. Here’s what to expect:

Initial Consultation: Comprehensive review of your medical history and symptoms.

Diagnostic Testing: Lab work, imaging studies, and specialized hormone tests.

Personalized Care Plan: Tailored recommendations based on your needs.
