[FHStoday] A Final Comment

[lewis n. wynne]

This is the final forwarded comment on "Today In Florida History."  Some
good news, maybe.  Perhaps a suggested co-sponsorship between the Florida
Historical Society and the Bureau of Historic Preservation will come to
fruition and we can expand the offerings.

I am on the same page with Margo Pope. I think this service should be 
continued.
In fact, I strongly believe that a course in Florida history should be 
required of all 
students at State Supported Institutions of Higher Learning. I came from 
Pennsylvania to the Fort Valley State University many years ago, and had to 
take a state-mandated Georgia history course. It did me a lot of good!!! 
With so many people entering the Sunshine state with no knowledge of Florida 
history, they should be required to take a care before they graduate.
May be we might have people looking at Florida as a state with a dynamic 
history 
instead of simply a Mickey Mouse place where we can't count ballots!!!
