January 23, 2007 – A Busy Day!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jan.23, 2008, under Florida History!, Florida Restaurants, Friends, What\'s New?
We started off at the Orlando Remembered meeting where we celebrated Lucile Fair’s upcoming 100th birthday. Above is a photo of Peggy Jo Van den Berg handing a card I drew for Lucille’s birthday. Beside that Banning Radler signs the card. Amongat the guests that came is City Commisioner Robert Stewart. Here he is with Lucile below.
Sandra then went on to meet up with our friends the Singers. I went on to accomplish a number of chores and then an afternoon meeting with Kris Woodson at the Orlando Public Library and the owner of the 8 store Coliseum of Comics, Phil Boyle. We’re cooking up big plans on May 3rd. Moreto come soon!
I then went on to do an oral history with Terry Ivy, a fifth generation Florida native.
After that I met with Sandra at Harris Rosen’s new spot, The Shingle Creek Resort. We had dinner at ‘A Land Remembered’ , named after the book by Patrick Smith that I think should be mandatory reading for all Floridians. We had a yummy dessert they serve at the restaurant, Key Lime Custard.
Below is a drawing of the back of a person at the restaurant who gestured quite a bit. Beside that is a photo of the butter serve. We had to watch it’s bite.
