Marco Island Historical Museum exhibit & lecture

Marco Island has a long and ancient history

and is well known for their Calusa Indian

mounds. The completion of their new Historical

Museum is a tribute to the people of Marco Island

and their dedication to the importance of history

for their community. We were very proud to

have an exhibit and lecture at the new Historical

Museum. We had a wonderful time meeting

so many new people.

Clyde & Niki ~ a talk in the swamp

Very often folks come up to us and say

that there are always to many people

around us at events, so they never get

to talk with us. So, we decided to try

something we've never done before...

an informal "howdy" with everyone.

We made ourselves available to answer

any questions that were on folks minds.

We had two groups, morning and

afternoon. They had a fountain of questions.

We covered photography, the environment

& philosophy. We had a great time and

it was great fun.

Preble-Rish Gallery - Apalachicola River ~ An American Treasure

In 2006 Clyde joined with

award-winning filmmaker Elam Stoltzfus

to create a film and traveling exhibit about

the Apalachicola River. The film and exhibit

has traveled for five years and has now

found a home at the Preble-Rish Gallery in

Blountstown Florida.

of Commerce, which is the proprietor

of the exhibit.

Flame Award for Cultural Leadership from the city of Marco Island

Clyde was given the 2010 Flame Award for

Cultural Leadership by the city of Marco Island

An evening of food and dance...and awards...

Not sure whether he was more

excited about the award or about

meeting Miss Southwest Florida!

Clyde was very honored that he received

the award from Mr. Howard Blankman...

yes, the original!
