Burke Kibler in Lakeland, Florida at the Holland and Knight law firm, and we are talking through Mr. Kibler’s memory of his growing up and his professional and business career. Mr. Kibler, nice to be with you again this week. B: Thank you Mike. M: We ended up last time with your memories of graduation from the University of Florida Law School and I had asked you this week to think about some people that you knew in law school that you had a chance to work with over your life in business, in public affairs or some of the other things you have been involved in. Were there any that you remembered this week that you would like to talk about? B: As I had observed just a minute ago, I hadn’t really thought about it like I promised, but it comes to mind that there were so many that were an important part of my life and remained good and close friends, even until now, and some are no longer with us, but one of my closest friends was a native of Bradenton, Dewey Dye. Dewey’s father had been a member of the State Senate, and when I met his father before I actually met Dewey.

  • Chapter 4: the Long and Winding Road to Park Establishment
    Chapter 4: The Long and Winding Road to Park Establishment With the passage of the authorizing act for Everglades National Park in May 1934, the scene of action shifted from Washington to Florida. Section 1 of the act stipulated that no federal funds were to be appropriated for land acquisition. Land could be acquired only by donation from the state or from private parties. Addition- ally, the secretary of the interior would not accept land for the park on a piecemeal basis. The park would be considered established only when the state had assembled sufficient acreage that in the aggregate was acceptable to the secretary for administra- tion as a national park. About 20 percent of the land within the maximum authorized boundary was state owned. Among the state’s holdings were 99,200 acres in Monroe County that had been set aside in 1917 as a reservation for the use of the Seminole Indians.165 Some 50,000 acres already belonged to the federal government. President Franklin Roosevelt issued an executive order in October 1934 removing all federally owned land within the boundary from sale or settlement, so that it would remain available when the park was ultimately established.166 The Model Land Company, the Collier Corporation, and the Chevelier Corporation owned the great majority of the private holdings, but there were hundreds of small holders. The typical procedure for acquiring private land for a national park was for a state to set up a commission with authority to accept donations and purchase land. This procedure had been followed in acquiring land for Great Smoky Mountains National Park on the Tennessee/North Carolina border and Big Bend National Park in Texas.
