His father's family were early settlers of Lake County and his mother, the former Carrie Phillips, was a member of the pioneer Phillips family of Marion County.\n Dick was raised on a farm in the little community of Fellowship, near Ocala, where his father farmed and also taught school. Mr. Ervin attended school in several counties - the number of different schools being occasion­ed by the father's profession as teacher.\n In 1921 at the age of 16, he served as Engrossing Clerk for the Florida House of Representatives, youngest to hold this responsible position. He graduated from the Law College of the University of Florida in 1928 and engaged in the practice of law in Pinellas, Lee, and Putnam Counties until 1935.\n He married the former Frances Baker of Jacksonville in 1933 and the Ervins have have two children, Richard W. III and Sarah Eve.\n Mr. Ervin entered full time public service in 1935 as an attorney for the State Road Department. He served as Road Department Lawyer until August of 1943 then as Assistant Attorney General untill January 1945 when he became Secretary of the Florida Railroad Commission for six months. He resumed the position as Resident Attorney for the Road Department in 1945 until he resigned in January of 1948 to campaign successfully for the office of Attorney General.\n During these years of public service Mr. Ervin helped activate the roadside beautification program by the Road Department, served as legal counsel for the Overseas Highway Bridge District, drafted the law creat­ing the Department of Public Safety, and later served as its attorney.\n Mr. Ervin specialized in drafting complex legislative acts, assisted in drafting and securing passage of the law giving counties shares of gasoline tax, thus relieving them of staggering road bond indebtedness.\n His administration of the office of Attorney General from 1948-1964 was distinguished by the publication of the first original revision of the Florida Statutes since 1941, and by his drive to rid the State of Florida of organized bookmaking and illegal gambling activities. Because of his efforts in this field, Mr. Ervin has achieved national and state acclaim and was selected by the Junior Chamber of Commerce as the outstanding government official in the State in 1950.

Spencer was born in Orlando and grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. He worked at Sand Hill Nursery near Lake Avalon and the Land of Bromeliads in Gotha before finding employment with Julian Nally. After the Nally estate was sold, Spencer worked for Racine Foster at Bromel-La. He graduated from UCF in 1990 summa cum laude with a BA in Liberal Studies and then found employment with Lyman B. Smith at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Michael Spencer named a genus of bromeliads \"Racinaea\" in honor of Racine Foster. While engaged in his research, Spencer amassed this collection of materials concerning bromeliads and their collectors. He now lives in Frederick, Maryland where he has served on the Historic Preservation Commission since 2004.","Materials were rehoused in pH neutral folders and cartons. Photographs, negatives and slides were enclosed in polyester sleeves. Many of the materials were well organized and the arrangement was retained. The remainder were arranged by following the original arrangement as far as possible. Notes on folders were retained in the new folder. Paper clips were replaced with plastic clips or materials that belonged together were held together in a pH neutral paper sleeve. Loose-leaf notebooks that were badly rusted were discarded and the contents placed in folders. Items loose in the back of notebooks were foldered separately and marked accordingly. Notes from a film canister were written exactly as found as the label could not be removed. Albums falling apart were taken apart and foldered. Albums in reasonable condition had the photographs attached properly with corners and the pages interleaved to prevent sticking. Loose album pages in the Foster subseries on Plant Information were merely foldered as they were not in an album and were found without context.

Spencer was born in Orlando and grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. He worked at Sand Hill Nursery near Lake Avalon and the Land of Bromeliads in Gotha before finding employment with Julian Nally. After the Nally estate was sold, Spencer worked for Racine Foster at Bromel-La. He graduated from UCF in 1990 summa cum laude with a BA in Liberal Studies and then found employment with Lyman B. Smith at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Michael Spencer named a genus of bromeliads \"Racinaea\" in honor of Racine Foster. While engaged in his research, Spencer amassed this collection of materials concerning bromeliads and their collectors. He now lives in Frederick, Maryland where he has served on the Historic Preservation Commission since 2004.","Materials were rehoused in pH neutral folders and cartons. Photographs, negatives and slides were enclosed in polyester sleeves. Many of the materials were well organized and the arrangement was retained. The remainder were arranged by following the original arrangement as far as possible. Notes on folders were retained in the new folder. Paper clips were replaced with plastic clips or materials that belonged together were held together in a pH neutral paper sleeve. Loose-leaf notebooks that were badly rusted were discarded and the contents placed in folders. Items loose in the back of notebooks were foldered separately and marked accordingly. Notes from a film canister were written exactly as found as the label could not be removed. Albums falling apart were taken apart and foldered. Albums in reasonable condition had the photographs attached properly with corners and the pages interleaved to prevent sticking. Loose album pages in the Foster subseries on Plant Information were merely foldered as they were not in an album and were found without context. Collecion rehoused and finding aid revised by Chynna Thomas in 2023.","A large book collection accompanies this collection and may be accessed by performing a series search \"Michael A.

Correspondence, publications, notebooks, drawings, research materials, memorabilia and photographs show all aspects of their work including plant collecting, landscape designing and publishing. Photographs may be black and white or color prints, negatives or slides. Additional materials about the Fosters may be found in Series II and III.","\nSeries II: Subject Files, 1880-2003 contains catalogues, journals, photographs, memorabilia and correspondence that Michael Spencer brought together under his chosen subject headings and arranged alphabetically. Many of the materials in this series originally came from Mulford and Racine Foster, which means that there is some overlap with the previous series. Spencer's own collecting interest lay in documenting the importance of bromeliads in society, and he collected many common items that showed bromeliads, especially pineapples.","\nSeries III: Author Files, 1754-1997 includes a variety of media used for research, such as articles, books, magazines, newspaper clippings, and photographs. There are a significant number of materials authored by Mulford and Racine Foster and Lyman B. Smith, including original manuscripts.","\nSeries IV: Plants by Family Files, 1908-1990 contains alphabetical files on plant families, which include newspaper clippings, books and other research materials.","\nSeries V: Natural History Files, 1853-1997 holds alphabetical files on a wide range of natural history topics including plant societies, authors, drugs and diseases. The files contain published materials, photocopies, web resources, plant and geological samples that document's Michael's Spencer's considerable research interests.","\nSeries VI: Medicinal Files, 1988-1996 contains alphabetical files on diseases and therapies. Not all these files relate to plants though many of them concern natural therapies.","\nSeries VII: Lyman Smith Files: 1905-1994 holds alphabetical files that belonged to Lyman B. Smith. His notebooks, manscripts, teaching materials and correspondence may all be found here.","\nSeries VIII: Personal Files, 1863-2014 contains alphabetical files showing Spencer's interest in collecting books and his wide interests.

Andrew Gray (1882-1975) was born on August 2, 1882, near Concord, Georgia, the second son of a Methodist circuit preacher. The family soon moved to northern Florida where Gray was raised, educated, and first tried his hand at teaching in a country school at the age of fifteen. Gray later attended South Florida Military College in Bartow for four years.","Before dedicating himself wholly to state politics, Gray spent nearly ten years in teaching, newspaper work, and local government. He then went on to spend most of sixty years, from the beginning of the century until his retirement in 1961, working in some capacity for the state of Florida. Gray represented Gadsden County as a legislator in 1910 and over the next twenty years he held various positions in state agencies including the State Treasury and the Comptroller's Office. In 1930, he was appointed Secretary of State to finish William Igou's term and then ran for that office himself in the next election. Gray served as Secretary of State from 1930 until 1961 when he resigned.","For more details on Gray, see his autobiography,  My Story , Rose Printing Company, Tallahassee, 1958, and  W.T.
