Description
A letter from Arthur W. Sinclair, executive manager of the Winter Garden Chamber of Commerce, to C. W. Sheffield, chairman of the Technical Committee. The committee was formed by Florida Governor Claude R. Kirk, Jr. (1926-2011) to develop plans for the restoration of Lake Apopka. In this letter, Sinclair discusses plans for the possible creation of a recreational park in the Gourd Neck Springs area, at the southwest corner of Lake Apopka. Gourd Neck Springs contains the only natural spring in the lake. Sinclair tells Sheffield of earlier efforts by the Gourd Neck Springs Park Association to rally support for the creation of a state park. Sinclair closes the letter by urging Sheffield to pass along these plans to Governor Kirk.

Letter from Sheffield to Sinclair (March 7, 1968)
Subject
Lake Apopka (Fla.)
Water quality--Florida
Description
A letter from C. W. Sheffield, chairman of the Lake Apopka Technical Committee, to Arthur W. Sinclair, executive secretary of the Winter Garden Chamber of Commerce. The Technical Committee was formed by Florida Governor Claude R. Kirk, Jr. (1926-2011) in 1967, with C. W. Sheffield to serve as chairman. The committee was tasked with investigating potential methods for the restoration of Lake Apopka. In this letter, Sheffield says he has no objection to Sinclair's use of the committee's weekly reports for a possible news release. The letter also mentions a planned three- or five-year study to investigate the feasibility of funding the removal of rough fish from Lake Apopka through the fish meal industry. Finally, the letter mentions the postponing of the Governor's review of the committee's progress due to an ongoing "school crisis." This is in reference to the statewide Florida Teachers' Strike of 1968, in which 40 percent of Florida teachers resigned their positions in February of that year, in protest of underfunding of the state education system.
