It was around 1989 that I took step-daughter Amber to The Peanut Butter Festival that was at teh Grosvenor Hotel near Disney World. Soupy Sales was a guest there and I was very fortunate to meet him and get the photo above.
I was sad to learn today that Soupy died. Above is the photo taken so many years ago.

Today is Jacob’s 15th birthday. Amazing but true, for those who know what this is about. I had lunch with my father at Steak and Shake. The sketch (First I’d done in the sketchbook for almost 2 months) is of gumball machines at the restaurant. Later I was fortunate to have the opportunity to spend some time and talk Orlando history with my 101 year old friend, Lucile Fair. Later Met with Tex Ann and Bob Buck to work on Orlando Remembered display. Still later met up with ol’ Ken Culotta and worked on gags at a Denny’s. Below is a photo from that meeting.

Sandra and I made our way through Palm Beach County to visit a few parks in the area. We started off at Serenoa Glade Park. The posey below is from there.
From there we visited Sugar Sand Park. The sketch to the right is of a very rare plant sprouting from a sabal palm. We also stopped at Blazing Star Preserve.
The film above was shot at Grassy Water Preserve. Below is the sketch I made.
