Great Floridians Hiding in the Reeds
Submitted by Kevin Derby on March 24, 2011 - 10:15am
Gov. Rick Scott and Secretary of State Kurt Browning honored a number of past and present Floridians on Wednesday night by presenting the Great Floridian Awards. Some current Florida leaders, including former Gov. and U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, former Lt. Gov. Toni Jennings, former Secretary of State Jim Smith, and Everglades activist (and, like your humble blogger, a Trinity College alumni) Nathaniel Reed. Also receiving the award were Floridians from the past. Inventor Thomas Alva Edison is still celebrated though he is better known for his work in New Jersey than in the Sunshine State.
