Byrne L. Corbin resides close to the warm waters of Biscayne Bay in Miami, Florida. Loving in a tropical environment has been an experience for this Braintree, Massachusetts native accustomed to New England's changing seasons. After being separated from his dear Mother and Grandparents for almost eight years due to their moving to sunny Pompano Bleach, FL, Byrne decided in 1993 to head south and be with them all the time instead of on visits two or three times a year since 1985.

On October 21st of that same year Byrne and his brother James would find themselves with the other 35 200 fans inside Fenway Park witnessing the Red Sox magically win game six of the World Series forcing a seventh game thanks to a Carlton Fisk home run on the morning of October 22nd, 1975.
