Gentges was born on February 12, 1918, in Farmington, Missouri. Prior to his enlistment in April of 1941, he worked as a laundry foreman who enjoyed classical music and writing. At the age of 23 the Selective Service Act of September 1940 required him to enlist. By April 1941 he was training at Camp Claiborne in Louisiana where he became a rifleman and staff sergeant for the Infantry's 113th Regiment in the 34th Infantry Division nicknamed \"Red Bull Division.\" From February 1942 to October 1944 he served in the European African Middle Eastern Theatre in the Tunisian Campaign, Rome-Arno campaign, and North Apennines Campaign. His service ended abruptly on October 19, 1944 in Cecina, Italy when he received a gunshot wound which broke his femur, for which he was awarded his third Purple Heart Medal. Aside from Purple Heart, Gentges was also awarded a Bronze Star Medal, 5 overseas service bars, one three-year service stripe, a combat infantry badge, an American defense service ribbon, and maintained good conduct throughout his service. The details of his service can be found in his memoir compiled by his daughter in 2001 and contained in the collection.\n \nIt is evident in Gentges memoirs, diary entries, and letters that he is a devout Catholic. He attended mass in both England and Ireland where he observed the Catholic/Protestant controversy and was particularly impressed with the religiosity of Ireland. When serving in Italy, he visited Rome twice where the Pope blessed his rosary. Later, Gentges became a member of the Society for the Propagation of Faith and wrote a letter to the society saying that he detested his destructive job, especially as a man of god, but understood his duty to his country. Gentges wrote \"at present I'm in the hospital with a battle injury. Soon I must return with rifle in hand to the job I detest. A man has a duty toward his country. Thus I attempt to do the best my poor abilities as a soldier will permit. Otherwise I leave everything else to whatever God wills\".  \n \nAfter officially leaving the service in August of 1945, Gentges married Florence Schwartz whom he had known since a youth on October 27, 1945 in their hometown of Farmington, Missouri. Beginning as childhood friends, Gentges admitted that once he had never had feelings for Florence, but through their letters during his service he realized his feelings for her. From then they were set to get married upon his return to the United States. Their relationship can be traced through their letters which have been copied and partially transcribed by their only daughter Mary Gentges. Charles R. Gentges passed away on February 13, 2006 and is buried along with his wife Florence and daugther Mary Elizabeth Gentges in Mount Calvary Cemetery, Saint Marys, Kansas, MO.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection relates to Staff Sergeant Charles R.

While his Father was in the navy, George's family lived at Pearl Harbor, and he witnessed the 1941 attack. George himself served in the navy for more than three years as a weather forecaster; for part of the time he was on the USS Bairoko. After graduating from the University of California, Los Angeles with a degree in meteorology in 1955, George Millay worked for a stockbroking firm until 1960. He married Anne Real in 1963; they eventually had three sons and a daughter.","\nIn 1958, Millay opened the Reef restaurant in Los Angeles with David Tallichet. He planned to create a submarine bar there so that customers could view sea creatures while enjoying cocktails. The plan failed because the water in the harbor was too cloudy. However, his interest in marine life introduced him to Dr. Kenneth Norris, curator at Marineland. Together with Milton Shedd and David DeMott, they organized the Marine Park Corporation to create a marine park in San Diego. Sea World opened in 1964 and expanded in 1970 with a park in Ohio followed by the Orlando park in 1972. Sea World Inc. opened an amusement park in Valencia California on 29th May 1971 in partnership with Newhall Land and Farming. Officially named \"Magic Mountain\", the park was designated \"Tragic Mountain\" by a reporter who was injured there. Sea World did not make a profit on the venture and sold out to its partner late in 1971. Millay resigned from Sea World Inc in 1974 because of a disagreement with his partners over how the company should develop.","\nGeorge Millay had spent a lot of time at Sea World in Orlando, and he thought that families would enjoy water activities as a break from the Florida heat. He pulled together ideas from a water playground at the Toronto World's Fair, a flume near Sacramento and a wave pool in Alabama, added a children's playgound, restrooms, gift shop and snack bar to create a new concept. He formed the Leisure Marine Corporation to develop his idea. Initially, the company ran the Seven Seas park in Arlington, TX, for a season, but the venture did not develop further. Wet 'n Wild eventually became a reality in Orlando, where it opened in 1977. The company took over the failing Seven Seas park and redeveloped it into the second Wet 'n Wild in 1983 followed by Las Vegas in 1985. Additional sites opened in Garland, TX, Brazil and Mexico. Wet 'n Wild was named the Best of Aquatics for 2003 by Aquatics International magazine.","\nMillay retired from Wet 'n Wild in 1998, but he continued to work on new projects. He designed and patented a system for moving visitors down into the center of a circular aquarium so that everyone had a good view of the fish. Millay partnered with William Watts and David Powell in creating a company named Sea Venture to sell the system. At the time of his death in 2006, no examples of the system had been sold.","\nGeorge Millay received Lifetime Achievement Awards from the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions and the Themed Entertainment Association, and he was named the Father of the Waterpark Industry by the World Waterpark Association. Tim O'Brien wrote Millay's biography entitled The Wave Maker in 2004.","Collection processed by Judith Beale; finding aid prepared by Judith Beale.

While his Father was in the navy, George's family lived at Pearl Harbor, and he witnessed the 1941 attack. George himself served in the navy for more than three years as a weather forecaster; for part of the time he was on the USS Bairoko. After graduating from the University of California, Los Angeles with a degree in meteorology in 1955, George Millay worked for a stockbroking firm until 1960. He married Anne Real in 1963; they eventually had three sons and a daughter.","\nIn 1958, Millay opened the Reef restaurant in Los Angeles with David Tallichet. He planned to create a submarine bar there so that customers could view sea creatures while enjoying cocktails. The plan failed because the water in the harbor was too cloudy. However, his interest in marine life introduced him to Dr. Kenneth Norris, curator at Marineland. Together with Milton Shedd and David DeMott, they organized the Marine Park Corporation to create a marine park in San Diego. Sea World opened in 1964 and expanded in 1970 with a park in Ohio followed by the Orlando park in 1972. Sea World Inc. opened an amusement park in Valencia California on 29th May 1971 in partnership with Newhall Land and Farming. Officially named \"Magic Mountain\", the park was designated \"Tragic Mountain\" by a reporter who was injured there. Sea World did not make a profit on the venture and sold out to its partner late in 1971. Millay resigned from Sea World Inc in 1974 because of a disagreement with his partners over how the company should develop.","\nGeorge Millay had spent a lot of time at Sea World in Orlando, and he thought that families would enjoy water activities as a break from the Florida heat. He pulled together ideas from a water playground at the Toronto World's Fair, a flume near Sacramento and a wave pool in Alabama, added a children's playgound, restrooms, gift shop and snack bar to create a new concept. He formed the Leisure Marine Corporation to develop his idea. Initially, the company ran the Seven Seas park in Arlington, TX, for a season, but the venture did not develop further. Wet 'n Wild eventually became a reality in Orlando, where it opened in 1977. The company took over the failing Seven Seas park and redeveloped it into the second Wet 'n Wild in 1983 followed by Las Vegas in 1985. Additional sites opened in Garland, TX, Brazil and Mexico.

Notaro came to USF St. Petersburg as an openly gay librarian and has championed gay rights for decades.  As a board member of the ACLU of Pinellas County he worked to make sure that gay and lesbian issues were addressed.  He was the original advisor for the LGBTQ+ student organization at USF St. Petersburg.  Mr. Notaro helped found Camp Torreyea, a summer camp for LGBTQ+ youth and created a support group within the Florida Library Association that works to understand the needs of the LGBTQ+ community in libraries. Mr. Notaro has participated in many gay pride events, including attending New York gay parade in 1979 that commemorated the tenth anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.  He also took part in the first gay pride parade in Pinellas County in 1989 at William Park that had only about 50 people in attendance. He was a member of St. Petersburg Pride from its beginning in 2003 and served on the organization's board of directors for two years and as the secretary and archivist for two years.","St. Pete Pride is an annual gay pride event that occurs every June that culminates with a parade and street festival in St. Petersburg's Kenwood neighborhood and Grand Central District.  St. Pete Pride began in 2003 as another gay pride organization, Greater Tampa Bay Pride, began to falter.  St. Pete Pride wanted to focus on promoting the gay and lesbian community in St. Petersburg and Pinellas County that had been underserved by the Greater Tampa Bay Pride organization.  The event also gained more support and prominence when the Hillsborough County Commission passed a controversial resolution prohibiting that county on the eastern side of Tampa Bay from recognizing or acknowledging gay pride in any way, including displays in public libraries. ","The size of the event has grown significantly from its beginnings in 2003. The inaugural parade had an estimated 10,000 attendees while the crowd estimates for the parades since 2009 have been over 80,000.  St. Pete Pride is the largest city sponsored event of the year, larger than Martin Luther King Jr., Day and the annual Opening Day celebration of the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team at Tropicana Field.  It is the largest gay pride event in the state of Florida and the largest event in the South outside Atlanta. The size of the parade itself has also grown over the years.  At its beginning it took less than fifteen minutes for the parade to reach its end, while in 2011 it took over four hours.","Although the size and scope of St. Pete Pride has changed since its beginning in 2003, this event has retained much of its original character.  It remains free to all attendees in order encourage those for\nwhom fees might be a roadblock to participate and it takes place in a neighborhood that has been supportive of the LGBT community for years.","Perceptions of St. Pete Pride by the local community and government have also evolved since 2003. Sponsorship has shifted increasingly from local businesses to a large number of national sponsors, which have included Macys, Wells‐Fargo, Coca Cola, and Jet Blue.  While the event has always received warm support from the St. Petersburg City Council and the city government, it has only recently received any acknowledgement from the Mayor's office.  While former Mayor Rick Baker's attitude towards St. Pete Pride could be described as \"silently non‐supportive,\" Mayor Bill Foster has given greater attention to St. Pete Pride and the gay community. Although, like his predecessor, Foster refused to sign the city council proclamation recognizing St. Pete Pride, he did attend the reading of the proclamation and some of the ancillary events related to parade.","As evidence of St. Pete Pride's growth in importance and size, it has become an important driver of tourism among the gay and lesbian community at the international level.  The parade has made St. Petersburg into a tourist destination for the LGBT community.  Hotels catering to the LGBT community become fully booked during the three days surrounding the parade","Materials include St. Petersburg Pride event ephemera, photographic prints and negatives, commemorative items, promotional pamphelets and posters from the early 2000s.

Notaro came to USF St. Petersburg as an openly gay librarian and has championed gay rights for decades.  As a board member of the ACLU of Pinellas County he worked to make sure that gay and lesbian issues were addressed.  He was the original advisor for the LGBTQ+ student organization at USF St. Petersburg.  Mr. Notaro helped found Camp Torreyea, a summer camp for LGBTQ+ youth and created a support group within the Florida Library Association that works to understand the needs of the LGBTQ+ community in libraries. Mr. Notaro has participated in many gay pride events, including attending New York gay parade in 1979 that commemorated the tenth anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.  He also took part in the first gay pride parade in Pinellas County in 1989 at William Park that had only about 50 people in attendance. He was a member of St. Petersburg Pride from its beginning in 2003 and served on the organization's board of directors for two years and as the secretary and archivist for two years.","St. Pete Pride is an annual gay pride event that occurs every June that culminates with a parade and street festival in St. Petersburg's Kenwood neighborhood and Grand Central District.  St. Pete Pride began in 2003 as another gay pride organization, Greater Tampa Bay Pride, began to falter.  St. Pete Pride wanted to focus on promoting the gay and lesbian community in St. Petersburg and Pinellas County that had been underserved by the Greater Tampa Bay Pride organization.  The event also gained more support and prominence when the Hillsborough County Commission passed a controversial resolution prohibiting that county on the eastern side of Tampa Bay from recognizing or acknowledging gay pride in any way, including displays in public libraries. ","The size of the event has grown significantly from its beginnings in 2003. The inaugural parade had an estimated 10,000 attendees while the crowd estimates for the parades since 2009 have been over 80,000.  St. Pete Pride is the largest city sponsored event of the year, larger than Martin Luther King Jr., Day and the annual Opening Day celebration of the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team at Tropicana Field.  It is the largest gay pride event in the state of Florida and the largest event in the South outside Atlanta. The size of the parade itself has also grown over the years.  At its beginning it took less than fifteen minutes for the parade to reach its end, while in 2011 it took over four hours.","Although the size and scope of St. Pete Pride has changed since its beginning in 2003, this event has retained much of its original character.  It remains free to all attendees in order encourage those for\nwhom fees might be a roadblock to participate and it takes place in a neighborhood that has been supportive of the LGBT community for years.","Perceptions of St. Pete Pride by the local community and government have also evolved since 2003. Sponsorship has shifted increasingly from local businesses to a large number of national sponsors, which have included Macys, Wells‐Fargo, Coca Cola, and Jet Blue.  While the event has always received warm support from the St. Petersburg City Council and the city government, it has only recently received any acknowledgement from the Mayor's office.  While former Mayor Rick Baker's attitude towards St. Pete Pride could be described as \"silently non‐supportive,\" Mayor Bill Foster has given greater attention to St. Pete Pride and the gay community. Although, like his predecessor, Foster refused to sign the city council proclamation recognizing St. Pete Pride, he did attend the reading of the proclamation and some of the ancillary events related to parade.","As evidence of St. Pete Pride's growth in importance and size, it has become an important driver of tourism among the gay and lesbian community at the international level.  The parade has made St. Petersburg into a tourist destination for the LGBT community.  Hotels catering to the LGBT community become fully booked during the three days surrounding the parade","Materials include St. Petersburg Pride event ephemera, photographic prints and negatives, commemorative items, promotional pamphelets and posters from the early 2000s.

When he was 5 years old, he moved from Miami to Satellite Beach, on the barrier island off the coast of Florida. He attended Ocean Breeze Elementary (Indian Harbour Beach) where he started drawing cartoons and comic books. He mainly derived his artistic ability from both parents, though it was his father who had particular talent, and he patiently spent many hours showing him how to draw any number of living and non-living subjects. His mother was very encouraging, in part because the time he spent drawing sapped from of his considerable over-abundance of energy. She would buy rolls of wide wax paper that he could sprawl over the dining room table and draw on the unwaxed side.","\nAfter graduating from high school, he attended University of Florida where he became a midshipman in the Navy ROTC program. Due to an eye injury he had at the age of 14, he was forced to leave the program after only six months. He continued to study at the University of Florida and earned a bachelor's degree in Public Relations and minor in History. In 1983, after taking a basic Spanish course, he spent six weeks as a foreign exchange student, studying Spanish at the Universidad de Los Andes (Bogotá, Colombia), and living with a Colombian family. By the end of his Colombian studies, he was just beginning to think in Spanish. Around this time, he was drawn toward editorial cartoons, and successfully approached the student newspaper, The Independent Florida Alligator, about submissions. His first cartoon is the only one that survives from this period; the rough draft, finished cartoon and tear sheet are part of the collection. Getting some cartoons printed made him realize how much he enjoyed editorial cartooning and decided this would be his focus for the future. After graduating in spring of 1985, he turned to The Gainesville Sun and published his first cartoon. He was always seeking freelance cartooning; designed a letterhead featuring a cartoon head and a business card in 1999. In 1987, he began self-publishing \"A Weekly Editorial Cartoon Statement\" he called American Punch, and left issues at newsstands around town. The name was taken from the long running British humor and satire magazine Punch that had been around since 1841.","\nSeeking out the gag cartoon market, he began sending cartoons to The New Yorker, which he continued doing off and on in the years that followed. The late 1980s and 1990s he became keen about creating comic strips and created three main strips; Doppelgängers (1987), HIJINX (1988), and Dr. Roget (1991). Since Glenn was living near the ocean, he got into the sport of wave skiing in 1988. He introduced Mr. T-Bones to Surf Ski Quarterly magazine and his episodes were published four times a year. Later, T-Bones became Mr. Tibs and went through five episodes, with artwork for a sixth episode (no. 11) being produced, but never published, due to the cancellation of the strip on June 1993. During two different period of time, Glenn drew editorial cartoons and illustrations for the Orlando Business Journal. Firstly from December 1990 until April 1991, and then from November 1998 through February 1999. Glenn was asked to generate cartoons generally relate the subjects to business and industry. After contributing cartoons to The Apopka Chief from February 1999 to March 2000, Glenn moved to Spanish-language weekly La Prensa (Central Florida), a family-run publication that had been in print for nearly 20 years. His first cartoon appeared in La Prensa on February 3, 2000.","\nIn October 1999, only a few months before joining La Prensa, Glenn was invited to a Florida Chapter meeting of the National Cartoonist Society (NCS) by cartoonist Dana Summers (The Orlando Sentinel) and became member of the NCS in May 2000, his membership was confirmed on a Certificate of Membership dated January 1, 2003. Membership to the American Association of Editorial Cartoonists (AAEC) was in 2001, and he received a certificate on September 13, 2003. In January 2000, Glenn wanted to revive the Doppelgängers strip and he changed the name to El Oasis. Glenn submitted El Oasis to FineToon Fellowship competition in 2004. However, it was eliminated in one of the final rounds in the pool of 400 submissions for FineToon/2004.","\nAfter a few months, La Prensa ceased publishing El Oasis due to space and financial reasons. Afterwards, Glenn tightened the cap on his ink bottle and scrubbed his pen and brush for the last time. Since 2006, Glenn had begun focusing more and more on Arctic/Antarctic and maritime research and writing, and laying the groundwork for short and long term projects.","Collection processed by Suphi Burak Ogreten; finding aid encoded by Suphi Burak Ogreten.","All materials were placed in acid-free boxes and folders.

The name was taken from the long running British humor and satire magazine Punch that had been around since 1841.","\nSeeking out the gag cartoon market, he began sending cartoons to The New Yorker, which he continued doing off and on in the years that followed. The late 1980s and 1990s he became keen about creating comic strips and created three main strips; Doppelgängers (1987), HIJINX (1988), and Dr. Roget (1991). Since Glenn was living near the ocean, he got into the sport of wave skiing in 1988. He introduced Mr. T-Bones to Surf Ski Quarterly magazine and his episodes were published four times a year. Later, T-Bones became Mr. Tibs and went through five episodes, with artwork for a sixth episode (no. 11) being produced, but never published, due to the cancellation of the strip on June 1993. During two different period of time, Glenn drew editorial cartoons and illustrations for the Orlando Business Journal. Firstly from December 1990 until April 1991, and then from November 1998 through February 1999. Glenn was asked to generate cartoons generally relate the subjects to business and industry. After contributing cartoons to The Apopka Chief from February 1999 to March 2000, Glenn moved to Spanish-language weekly La Prensa (Central Florida), a family-run publication that had been in print for nearly 20 years. His first cartoon appeared in La Prensa on February 3, 2000.","\nIn October 1999, only a few months before joining La Prensa, Glenn was invited to a Florida Chapter meeting of the National Cartoonist Society (NCS) by cartoonist Dana Summers (The Orlando Sentinel) and became member of the NCS in May 2000, his membership was confirmed on a Certificate of Membership dated January 1, 2003. Membership to the American Association of Editorial Cartoonists (AAEC) was in 2001, and he received a certificate on September 13, 2003. In January 2000, Glenn wanted to revive the Doppelgängers strip and he changed the name to El Oasis. Glenn submitted El Oasis to FineToon Fellowship competition in 2004. However, it was eliminated in one of the final rounds in the pool of 400 submissions for FineToon/2004.","\nAfter a few months, La Prensa ceased publishing El Oasis due to space and financial reasons. Afterwards, Glenn tightened the cap on his ink bottle and scrubbed his pen and brush for the last time. Since 2006, Glenn had begun focusing more and more on Arctic/Antarctic and maritime research and writing, and laying the groundwork for short and long term projects."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eGlenn \"Marty\" Stein Collection of Cartoon Art, 1955-2013, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Glenn \"Marty\" Stein Collection of Cartoon Art, 1955-2013, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCollection processed by Suphi Burak Ogreten; finding aid encoded by Suphi Burak Ogreten.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAll materials were placed in acid-free boxes and folders.

When he was 5 years old, he moved from Miami to Satellite Beach, on the barrier island off the coast of Florida. He attended Ocean Breeze Elementary (Indian Harbour Beach) where he started drawing cartoons and comic books. He mainly derived his artistic ability from both parents, though it was his father who had particular talent, and he patiently spent many hours showing him how to draw any number of living and non-living subjects. His mother was very encouraging, in part because the time he spent drawing sapped from of his considerable over-abundance of energy. She would buy rolls of wide wax paper that he could sprawl over the dining room table and draw on the unwaxed side.","\nAfter graduating from high school, he attended University of Florida where he became a midshipman in the Navy ROTC program. Due to an eye injury he had at the age of 14, he was forced to leave the program after only six months. He continued to study at the University of Florida and earned a bachelor's degree in Public Relations and minor in History. In 1983, after taking a basic Spanish course, he spent six weeks as a foreign exchange student, studying Spanish at the Universidad de Los Andes (Bogotá, Colombia), and living with a Colombian family. By the end of his Colombian studies, he was just beginning to think in Spanish. Around this time, he was drawn toward editorial cartoons, and successfully approached the student newspaper, The Independent Florida Alligator, about submissions. His first cartoon is the only one that survives from this period; the rough draft, finished cartoon and tear sheet are part of the collection. Getting some cartoons printed made him realize how much he enjoyed editorial cartooning and decided this would be his focus for the future. After graduating in spring of 1985, he turned to The Gainesville Sun and published his first cartoon.

The name was taken from the long running British humor and satire magazine Punch that had been around since 1841.","\nSeeking out the gag cartoon market, he began sending cartoons to The New Yorker, which he continued doing off and on in the years that followed. The late 1980s and 1990s he became keen about creating comic strips and created three main strips; Doppelgängers (1987), HIJINX (1988), and Dr. Roget (1991). Since Glenn was living near the ocean, he got into the sport of wave skiing in 1988. He introduced Mr. T-Bones to Surf Ski Quarterly magazine and his episodes were published four times a year. Later, T-Bones became Mr. Tibs and went through five episodes, with artwork for a sixth episode (no. 11) being produced, but never published, due to the cancellation of the strip on June 1993. During two different period of time, Glenn drew editorial cartoons and illustrations for the Orlando Business Journal. Firstly from December 1990 until April 1991, and then from November 1998 through February 1999. Glenn was asked to generate cartoons generally relate the subjects to business and industry. After contributing cartoons to The Apopka Chief from February 1999 to March 2000, Glenn moved to Spanish-language weekly La Prensa (Central Florida), a family-run publication that had been in print for nearly 20 years. His first cartoon appeared in La Prensa on February 3, 2000.","\nIn October 1999, only a few months before joining La Prensa, Glenn was invited to a Florida Chapter meeting of the National Cartoonist Society (NCS) by cartoonist Dana Summers (The Orlando Sentinel) and became member of the NCS in May 2000, his membership was confirmed on a Certificate of Membership dated January 1, 2003. Membership to the American Association of Editorial Cartoonists (AAEC) was in 2001, and he received a certificate on September 13, 2003. In January 2000, Glenn wanted to revive the Doppelgängers strip and he changed the name to El Oasis. Glenn submitted El Oasis to FineToon Fellowship competition in 2004. However, it was eliminated in one of the final rounds in the pool of 400 submissions for FineToon/2004.","\nAfter a few months, La Prensa ceased publishing El Oasis due to space and financial reasons. Afterwards, Glenn tightened the cap on his ink bottle and scrubbed his pen and brush for the last time. Since 2006, Glenn had begun focusing more and more on Arctic/Antarctic and maritime research and writing, and laying the groundwork for short and long term projects."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eGlenn \"Marty\" Stein Collection of Cartoon Art, 1955-2013, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Glenn \"Marty\" Stein Collection of Cartoon Art, 1955-2013, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCollection processed by Suphi Burak Ogreten; finding aid encoded by Suphi Burak Ogreten.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eAll materials were placed in acid-free boxes and folders.
