HOT SUMMER Jan Landsberg, a state researcher and contributor to the report, said it should be read as an outreach and education tool for the general public, as well as local officials and doctors.

Merrily they rolled along where others had marched BY KIM COOL FEATURES EDITOR

After revisiting the Civil War for 16 days, Duke DeNuccio, 86, and his friend Jim McHenry, 69, are back in present-day Venice. Visiting Civil War sites throughout the South, the Civil War buffs traveled in McHenry’s motor home, towing a truck behind them, over major highways and a few two-lane roads that provided extra challenges when wet. DeNuccio’s passion for the history of the War Between the States began in the 1950s. He served in World War II before making a career in sales. As the years progressed and his interest grew, DeNuccio amassed a collection of some 500 history books, most of which dealt with the Civil War. He donated the collection to the Friends of the Venice Public Library. With his son Paul, who was born in 1950, he traveled to Civil War sites in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. “We did two or three trips,” DeNuccio said. “I pretty much had finished the North.” He moved to Venice, was working in real estate and became a friend of McHenry, who had grown up in South Florida and shared an interest in Please see CIVIL WAR, 2B
