Formed by a few visionary high school band directors from across Florida, the FBA sought to promote interest in high school bands and band contests during an era where few schools had bands but interest was growing, and to strengthen the professional standing of the state's band directors. The FBA sponsored a\nsingle State Festival for several years. In the late 1940's, the Festival became large enough that the state was divided into six geographical Districts, and District Contests were devised to serve as qualifiers for bands attending the State Contest. Since then, additional growth resulted in 10\nDistricts, then to 14, then to 15 in 1982, to 17 in 1987, and to 19 in 1995. There is still 19 districts.\nThroughout the years, the FBA has managed state- and district-level band festivals, clinics, and other events, ensuring that music remained in the public school curriculum and maintaining high musical standards for students. In 1966, the FBA completed an amicable merger with the Florida Association of Bandmasters, the equivalent organization for African-American schools\nprior to integration. The FABD had formed in 1941with Leander Kirksey as the first president. He was followed by George H. Hill (1955-1960) and James W. Wilson (1960-1966). Wilson later served as president of the FBA from 1974-1975. Early organizers and leaders of the FBA include some giants in the school band field, including first president Major Ed Chenette, P.J. Gustat, Browne Greaton Cole, and John J. Heney. For a complete list of presidents visit https://fba.flmusiced.org/about/history. FBA eventually became a component organization of the Florida Music Education Association.\nIn addition, the FBA had a relationship with the Florida High School Activities Association, from whom the FBA, and their associated events, received funding. John Joseph Heney, Sr. (1903-1978) was a percussionist, music educator, and historian. He played with numerous bands throughout his career, most notably the John Phillip Sousa Band during its final six years. In addition to playing professionally, Heney taught at numerous schools in the Florida area, including Ketterlinus High School, Stetson University, and DeLand High School, where he stayed for thirty-two years. He was a founder of the FBA and instrumental in starting the archives.

She was the youngest of five children and walked six miles to school every day in the countryside when she was a kid. She graduated high school as valedictorian in 1934 and went to Midland Linotype School in Charles City, Iowa. She worked as a linotype operator in Morning Sun, Iowa; Floyd, Iowa; and eventually in Fernandina, Florida.\n On September 26, 1942, at the age of twenty-eight, Walsh was one of the first women to enlist in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps at Camp Blanding, Florida. She went to basic training in Des Moines, Iowa, on October 13, 1942. She served in the 8th Company, 2nd Battalion, \"Pee Wee\" Platoon. Prior to her overseas service, Walsh was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, performing radar communications work for the Norfolk Virginia Air Corps from November 11, 1942, to March 22, 1943. She was stationed at Camp Polk, Louisiana, for training from March 22, 1943, to May 25, 1943. She completed training at Fort Devens, Massachusetts, from May 25, 1943, until August 1943.\n Walsh shipped out to Oran, Algeria, North Africa, on August 12, 1943. She served in Oran from September 1943 to July 1944. She first served in the air corps as a Technician 5th Class. Her role in the Women's Army Corps was as an artificer; she had her own workshop and fixed things like water works, irons, broken mirrors, etc. She had four young Algerian boys working in her workshop to keep it clean, and she lived in a tent with three other WACs. From July 1944 to November 1944, Walsh served in Caserta, Italy, as an artificer. She was promoted to Technician 4th class on October 23, 1944. In November 1944, she was stationed in Dijon, France, and was promoted to Sergeant in December 1944.\n In May 1945, Walsh shipped to Charleston, South Carolina, on the Army Hospital Ship Algonquin. She had debilitating pain in her jaw from numerous cysts. She received an Honorable Medical Discharge from the Army at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, on October 3, 1945. During World War II, Walsh provided war products and communications services to the front lines in Algeria, Italy, and France. She earned three major battle stars for her service close to the front lines in three major battle areas of the European Theater, including Rome-Arno, North Apennines, and Rhineland.\n After World War II, Walsh created scrapbooks containing extensive information about her personal WAC experiences; photographs from her time overseas; and newspaper clippings about herself, other WACs, and the war in general. She continued her work as a linotype operator for newspapers in Iowa, Minnesota, and Florida, before developing her own successful business in real estate property management when she settled in Decatur, Georgia. She was a member of the Atlanta World War II Roundtable and Avondale American Legion Post 66 and was involved in the National Association of Women Veterans. Walsh died in Decatur, Georgia, on December 24, 2007, at the age of 93.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","Processed February 2017; Updated June 2020","Helen E.

During World War II, she worked for Bethlehem Steel, where she helped organize a union and became the company's first female shop steward. During the war, she advocated for equal pay for women and improved working conditions at the Fall River Shipyard.","After moving with her husband to South Florida in 1954, Ferris operated a day care center and later worked in a flower shop. At the age of 55, she earned a high school equivalency degree. In her spare time, she often went crabbing at Port Everglades, which was just around the corner from her home. After attending her first conchology show in Fort Lauderdale in 1970, she discovered a new hobby: creating shell flowers from Florida and Caribbean shells. Ferris's work went on to win five awards from the Broward Shell Club and was displayed at the Parker Playhouse. This proximity to the port sparked her curiosity, leading her to investigate activities there not long after settling in Fort Lauderdale.","For more than two decades, Ferris actively participated in public meetings at Port Everglades, denouncing misuse of public funds, corruption, ethics violations, governance issues, and environmental impacts associated with port operations. She was recognized as a fierce port watcher by commissioners and fellow activists in Broward County, eventually earning the title of \"Port Gadfly\" for her persistence in questioning the governance of the Port Everglades Authority.","Notably, she uncovered evidence that board members had used public money to buy themselves diamond and gold rings. She also fought against medical waste incinerators, monitored election law violations, and led a community revolt when the Port Authority attempted to approve a sludge treatment plant and later a scrap metal operation. Ferris played a key role in the abolishment of the independent Port Everglades Authority following a local referendum in 1992, which transferred administration of the port to Broward County in November 1994. ","Her involvement was fueled by a lifelong fascination with the nautical world and a commitment to protecting endangered species, including manatees and other aquatic wildlife. In 1979, after successfully advocating for the creation of an environmental department at the port, she served on its first environmental board.","Ferris was also active in the Harbordale-Portside Civic Association and the Citizens for Action Committee. In 1995, she was inducted into Broward County's Women's Hall of Fame for her significant contributions to society and to the advancement of women. Upon her death in 2012, she left a trust of approximately $400,000 to the Salvation Army to support efforts to combat poverty in Broward County.","This collection received file level processing by Frederic Santerre in April 2026. This finding aid may be updated to reflect new descriptions as well as acquisitions to the collection.","The collection documents the civic, political, and environmental activism of Helen Ferris, a long-time Fort Lauderdale resident and noted watchdog of Port Everglades. Materials reflect Ferris's extensive engagement with issues of public governance, environmental stewardship, and community advocacy from the mid 1970s through the early 2000s. Much of the collection highlights industrial activities and development projects proposed or undertaken at Port Everglades during this period, including a wastewater treatment plant, sludge plant, waste incinerator facility, asphalt plant, scrap metal recycling plant, and a proposed pipeline across Central Florida.","The collection also reveals ethical concerns and illegal activities involving port commissioners over two decades. Materials document Ferris's role in mobilizing community opposition to certain port initiatives and her leadership in the successful campaign to abolish the independent Port Everglades Authority, which resulted in Broward County assuming responsibility for the port's administration.","Additional records illustrate her participation in environmental initiatives, including the establishment of the port's first environmental board in 1979, as well as her involvement in the Harbordale-Portside Civic Association, the Citizens for Action Committee, and other local advocacy groups. Other materials reflect her broader interests in marine life, endangered species protection, and community welfare.","Overall, the collection provides insight into grassroots activism in Broward County, the governance and development of Port Everglades, and the contributions of a prominent local female activist who was inducted into Broward County's Women's Hall of Fame in 1995.","The collection is arranged into seven series: 1.

This proximity to the port sparked her curiosity, leading her to investigate activities there not long after settling in Fort Lauderdale.","For more than two decades, Ferris actively participated in public meetings at Port Everglades, denouncing misuse of public funds, corruption, ethics violations, governance issues, and environmental impacts associated with port operations. She was recognized as a fierce port watcher by commissioners and fellow activists in Broward County, eventually earning the title of \"Port Gadfly\" for her persistence in questioning the governance of the Port Everglades Authority.","Notably, she uncovered evidence that board members had used public money to buy themselves diamond and gold rings. She also fought against medical waste incinerators, monitored election law violations, and led a community revolt when the Port Authority attempted to approve a sludge treatment plant and later a scrap metal operation. Ferris played a key role in the abolishment of the independent Port Everglades Authority following a local referendum in 1992, which transferred administration of the port to Broward County in November 1994. ","Her involvement was fueled by a lifelong fascination with the nautical world and a commitment to protecting endangered species, including manatees and other aquatic wildlife. In 1979, after successfully advocating for the creation of an environmental department at the port, she served on its first environmental board.","Ferris was also active in the Harbordale-Portside Civic Association and the Citizens for Action Committee. In 1995, she was inducted into Broward County's Women's Hall of Fame for her significant contributions to society and to the advancement of women. Upon her death in 2012, she left a trust of approximately $400,000 to the Salvation Army to support efforts to combat poverty in Broward County."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eHelen Ferris Port Everglades Collection, Broward County Historical Archives, Broward County Library.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Helen Ferris Port Everglades Collection, Broward County Historical Archives, Broward County Library."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection received file level processing by Frederic Santerre in April 2026.
