Fall Bulletin 2004

While the Florida Society was up to their proverbial ears in alligators with the preparations for the May General Court, they were able to squeeze in a few other activities along the way.

The Florida Society held its Annual Meeting on Saturday, March 20, 2004 at the Eau Gallie Yacht Club in Indian Harbour Beach (on the East coast), FL.

A total of 31 Associates, spouses, and guests attended, including DGG Dana Gowan and his wife, Sabrina. The group heard a talk by author Don David Argo about his recently completed Florida Historical novel Canaveral Light. In his research, Mr. Argo has identified more than 200 descendants of Florida Pioneers.

In April, the Florida Society had a number of ROTC Awards to present at area colleges: Governor Peter Douglas had the honor of presenting two Superior Achievement Awards to Cadet Brendaly Casanova (USF Air Force ROTC) and Cadet Yaritza Roman (USF ARMY ROTC); LTC Leslie Ordway made the presentation of the award to Cadet Jeffrey Kain (U of Tampa ARMY ROTC); and DGG Dana Gowan presented the award to Cadet Daniel F. Bair (Florida Southern College ARMY ROTC).

Deputy Governor Saul Montes-Bradley has made inroads in the Miami area and the Society can expect to make even more ROTC presentations next year.
