Greetings from Florida.
Come on down where it is cold and wet.
Bob Martino
Mr. & Mrs. Thom. Fairbanks
Rear 496 Main St.
Groveland, Mass.
Thanks, Bob.
Mr. Martino is either a poor salesman, or close enough to his friends, the Fairbanks', that he can lay on the sarcasm. There's more from Bob on another card, as well as the Fairbanks, so enjoy this pastoral scene from the not-too-distant past.
The first citrus trees in Florida were planted and cultivated by members of Christopher Columbus' crew, and continued under the Spanish flag as the first settlements in Florida began. Even through freezes and disease, Florida continues to be a major producer of citrus, even as old orange groves are cleared to make way for suburban development.
I'm still waiting to hear back from the Groveland Historical Society, but check out this history from one of the Parker descendants detailing a church pageant from 1950.
