Abstract
In this first interview I spoke with Dr. Clark about his research and recent book examining the 1950 US Senate Primary election between Claude Pepper and George Smathers. This was one of the most colorful and significant political campaigns in Florida. Professor Clark talks to me about his research and why we should remember these two political characters from Florida’s past.

Postcard, posted on February 5, 1909, showing the Rosalind Club located 37 North Orange Avenue in Downtown Orlando, Florida. It was constructed in 1901 in the Neo-Classical Revival style as a reproduction of the Biloxi, Mississippi home of Jefferson Davis, the first and only President of the Confederate States of America. Davis' niece, Lucy Hayes Lawrence, chose the design. The building was moved to Colonial Drive circa 1921 to make room for the Angebilt Hotel. The original owner was the Sorosis Club. In 1903, it became the home of the Rosalind Club, which was founded in 1894 as the Ladies Social Club of Orlando. The Rosalind Club remained there until 1916 when their new building was finished on the shore of Lake Eola, on the street that became Rosalind Avenue. After 1916, the building was used by the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club. It was bought by M. J. Daetwyler and moved to Colonial Drive for use as an apartment house.

Such an excitement yesterday Mr. Miller set fire to a brush pile and it was so dry it spread clear to the orange grove and every one had to get out[?] and fight. No damage to grove. Then the dog caught a rabbit. Burned some of the fence posts and E[?] and I saved several others.
The Winter Springs Veterans Memorial, located at the corner of Tuskawilla Road and Blumberg Boulevard, was constructed by the City of Winter Springs along with the local Rotary Club. The monument is dedicated to all United States military veterans who lived and died serving their country during warfare. The centerpiece of the memorial is a pair of empty boots with a rifle placed in between and a soldier's helmet on top. The memorial represents the men and women from the Winter Springs community that have served in the military. The project was started by the Rotary Club and the City of Winter Springs in 2005 and was completed in 2008.
