September 10,2008- Boca Grande & FOWA Dinner!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Sep.10, 2008, under Florida History!
Sandra and I headed over to Boca Grande and spent most of the day exploring the island. Amongst the stops was to the Boca Grande lighthouse historical site. I sketched two park employees discussing something over a railing.
Later that afternoon we joined the beginning of the Florida Outdoor Writer’s Association annual meeting in Punta Gorda. At the dinner that night we sat besides fellow artists Linda and Keith Johns. The speakers at the dinner kept talking about IGFA. Linda, Keith and I were trying to figure out what the letters meant. Linda came up with the International Golf Fishing Association. So I made the drawing below at the dinner. What does IGFA really mean? Click here to find out.
