  • Today We Are Interviewing Mr
    1 CENTER FOR FLORIDA HISTORY ORAL HISTORY PROGRAM INTERVIEW WITH: HOMER HOOKS INTERVIEWER: JAMES M. DENHAM PLACE: LAKELAND, FLORIDA DATE: JULY 29, 2003 M= JAMES M. DENHAM (Mike) H= HOMER HOOKS M: Today we are interviewing Mr. Homer Hooks and we are going to talk today about the legacy of Lawton Chiles and hopefully follow this up with future discussions of Mr. Hooks’ business career and career in politics. Good morning Mr. Hooks. H: Good morning, Mike. M: As I mentioned, we, really, in the future want to talk about your service in World War II and also your business career, but today we would like to focus on your memories of Lawton Chiles. Even so, can you tell us a little bit about where you were born as well as giving us a brief biographical sketch? H: Yes, Mike. I was born in Columbia, South Carolina, on January 10, 1921. My family moved to Lake County actually in Florida when I was a child. I was 4 or 5 years old, I guess. We lived in Clermont in south Lake County. My grandfather was a pioneer. He platted the town of Clermont. The rest of the family also lived north of Clermont in the Leesburg area, but we considered ourselves pioneer Florida residents. Those were the days in 1926, ‘27 and ‘28 days and so forth. I grew up in Clermont - grammar school and high school and then immediately went to the University of Florida in 1939 and graduated in 1943, as some people have said, when the earth’s crust was still cooling, so long ago.

  • Aaron Bean from Fernandina Beach
    2020 2022 THE FLORIDA SENATE HANDBOOK 1 2 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT WILTON SIMPSON President of the Senate Welcome to the Florida Senate. During this unprecedented global pandemic, the Senate has partnered with an infectious disease team at Tampa General Hospital and hired an in-house epidemiologist to develop safety protocols designed to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and keep Senators and our Senate professional staff as safe as possible. Just like our Senators and staff, you also play an important role in the legislative process. Input from various stakeholders and members of the public is critical, and the Senate is working diligently to ensure Floridians have access to their elected officials as we consider important legislation for our state. Until the COVID-19 vaccine is widely available for those outside of high-risk designation, the Senate is proceeding with care and caution, limiting in-person meetings, and observing social distancing guidelines, mask requirements, and sanitation protocols. For the 2021 Regular Session of the Florida Legislature, the Senate is working in partnership with Florida State University to reserve three remote viewing rooms at the Leon County Civic Center, which provide the opportunity for members of the public to view meetings and virtually address Senate committees in a safe, socially distant manner. We also encourage you to stay involved by viewing all Senate meetings and floor sittings on our website and contacting your local Senator with suggestions, ideas, and feedback. I look forward to the day when we can all be together again walking the halls and chambers where Florida's citizen-legislators have served for generations.
