I was born in Florida,but have lived in Indiana most of my life. I don't know what did or didn't go on there as far as politics,etc. When I lucky enough to visit my relatives in Florida (which wasn't often enough through the years) I would see as many of them as I could. If my family would be visiting Carl & Aunt Hester & we would go out to eat or take a historical drive,Carl would tell you what road would be coming up next & what was on the right & left & if something had be previously been torn down & what was there now. If you didn't know better,you would think that he could see. I wish I had 1/3 the memory that he had. He was an amazing man & made our trips enjoyable. He will be missed.
