An article on Connie Powers of Big Pine was pointed out by a friend of mine... She and I were passing friends I never knew her background, I guess I have met a lot of interesting people in my life... Vanderkloot was a pilot for Winston Churchill,
Paul Scurlock was a communications officer for General Patton... I have met Submarine Commanders.. and Deputy Directors.. for certain Agencies..... and Edie of Little Torch you know she was of the former of women flyers for the Air Force the W.A.S.P.S... and fanned the flames at her Hallmark Store on Big Pine... The Pillars of society.... you know, and quite a few others, The notable Characters .. it always seems to me you learn more about them after they are dead, well sometimes.......
I could go on but I won't... my present book Characters I have Known in the Florida Keys.. consists.. mainly of what might be construed as less then desirable characters.. my forte' perhaps one day I will focus on the ones considered as more desirable... ....... maybe not... I suppose in retrospect I should have accepted the offer to attend a Quite Birdmen meeting offered me by Mr. Vanderkloot... I declined... that was years ago.

The Numbered, the flock the branded cattle.............

To say looking away..........
Like Judges providing for the fate of those not so terribly guilty or deserving of the punishment they freely dole out...................
An All American Sport............
Perhaps obscurity is a safe place to be? After all.
Interesting People.
