While growing up, Tony absorbed the multiethnic cultural ambience of Ybor City and its primarily Cuban, Spanish, and Italian population.  A graduate of Hillsborough High School, he attended the University of Florida for two years, then transferred to Stetson University to study law.  After two years, he left Stetson to embark on a business career.  Following service in the U.S. Army during World War II, Pizzo started his own company, International Brands, a wine and beer distributorship. He subsequently accepted a position with Tampa Wholesale Liquors, which later became Midulla Importing Company and House of Midulla, Inc.  From 1950 to his retirement in 1984 Tony Pizzo was the company's vice president in charge of sales, also serving as president of Midulla affiliates Rey del Mundo Cigar Company (1965-1971) and Fruit Wines of Florida (1972-1984).    ","Pizzo was active in local business, civic, educational, and cultural organizations, including the Tampa General Hospital Foundation, Barrio Latino Commission, University of Tampa Foundation, University of South Florida President's Council, Ybor City Redevelopment Committee, Tampa Philharmonic Association, and Tampa Bay Business Hall of Fame.  He was the founder and first president of the Tampa International Trade Council, first president of the Ybor City Junior Chamber of Commerce, first president of the Rotary Club of Ybor City, and the first honorary mayor (alcalde) of Ybor City.  In 1952, the Cuban government awarded Tony Pizzo the Order of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, and in 1976 the government of Italy invested him as a Knight Officer of the Order of Merit.  A 1993  Tampa Tribune  article commented that no other Tampan had been awarded so many honors for contributions and service to his community.","During the early 1950s, Tony Pizzo realized that the colorful, multiethnic Ybor City of his youth was rapidly fading away due to post-World War II demographic and economic changes.  He decided to make it his mission to preserve the history of Tampa's immigrant cigar makers and the community they built.  Over time, this mission expanded to include the history of the Tampa and Hillsborough County as a whole.  Pursuing his avocation for local history, Pizzo became the most prominent advocate of and spokesman for Tampa's historic heritage, earning the informal title \"Mr. Ybor City.\"","A prolific writer whose history articles appeared in a range of publications- from  Tampa Bay History  magazine to the popular press- his first book-length work,  Tampa Town, 1886-1834: Cracker Village with a Latin Accent,  appeared in 1968.  In 1979, Pizzo collaborated with WUSF Television in creating  Tony Pizzo's Tampa,  a ten-part documentary that won two awards from the National University Television Association.  In 1983, he co-authored a comprehensive history of Tampa and its vicinity,  Tampa, the Treasure City , with USF history professor Gary R. Mormino.","In 1971, Pizzo founded the Tampa Historical Society and served as its first president.  He was chairman of the Hillsborough County Historical Commission from 1968 to 1980, and from 1984 until his death was Hillsborough County's official historian.  As a Tampa native, civic leader, and prominent spokesman for local history, Pizzo was ideally positioned to gather historically significant material.  He \"knew everyone\" and \"everyone\" knew him.  His decades of gathering information about Tampa's past resulted in a monumental collection of historical materials documenting virtually every aspect of the community's historical heritage from its origins as a frontier fort to the dynamic, modern metropolis of today.  In a letter dated August 11, 1980, Tony Pizzo expressed his intention that the Special Collections Department at the University of South Florida's Tampa Library be the permanent repository for his unique collection.","This intention was realized on October 23, 1982 when USF President John Lott Brown formally accepted the Pizzo Collection during a gala dinner program held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Tampa.

While growing up, Tony absorbed the multiethnic cultural ambience of Ybor City and its primarily Cuban, Spanish, and Italian population.  A graduate of Hillsborough High School, he attended the University of Florida for two years, then transferred to Stetson University to study law.  After two years, he left Stetson to embark on a business career.  Following service in the U.S. Army during World War II, Pizzo started his own company, International Brands, a wine and beer distributorship. He subsequently accepted a position with Tampa Wholesale Liquors, which later became Midulla Importing Company and House of Midulla, Inc.  From 1950 to his retirement in 1984 Tony Pizzo was the company's vice president in charge of sales, also serving as president of Midulla affiliates Rey del Mundo Cigar Company (1965-1971) and Fruit Wines of Florida (1972-1984).    ","Pizzo was active in local business, civic, educational, and cultural organizations, including the Tampa General Hospital Foundation, Barrio Latino Commission, University of Tampa Foundation, University of South Florida President's Council, Ybor City Redevelopment Committee, Tampa Philharmonic Association, and Tampa Bay Business Hall of Fame.  He was the founder and first president of the Tampa International Trade Council, first president of the Ybor City Junior Chamber of Commerce, first president of the Rotary Club of Ybor City, and the first honorary mayor (alcalde) of Ybor City.  In 1952, the Cuban government awarded Tony Pizzo the Order of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, and in 1976 the government of Italy invested him as a Knight Officer of the Order of Merit.  A 1993  Tampa Tribune  article commented that no other Tampan had been awarded so many honors for contributions and service to his community.","During the early 1950s, Tony Pizzo realized that the colorful, multiethnic Ybor City of his youth was rapidly fading away due to post-World War II demographic and economic changes.  He decided to make it his mission to preserve the history of Tampa's immigrant cigar makers and the community they built.  Over time, this mission expanded to include the history of the Tampa and Hillsborough County as a whole.  Pursuing his avocation for local history, Pizzo became the most prominent advocate of and spokesman for Tampa's historic heritage, earning the informal title \"Mr. Ybor City.\"","A prolific writer whose history articles appeared in a range of publications- from  Tampa Bay History  magazine to the popular press- his first book-length work,  Tampa Town, 1886-1834: Cracker Village with a Latin Accent,  appeared in 1968.  In 1979, Pizzo collaborated with WUSF Television in creating  Tony Pizzo's Tampa,  a ten-part documentary that won two awards from the National University Television Association.  In 1983, he co-authored a comprehensive history of Tampa and its vicinity,  Tampa, the Treasure City , with USF history professor Gary R. Mormino.","In 1971, Pizzo founded the Tampa Historical Society and served as its first president.  He was chairman of the Hillsborough County Historical Commission from 1968 to 1980, and from 1984 until his death was Hillsborough County's official historian.  As a Tampa native, civic leader, and prominent spokesman for local history, Pizzo was ideally positioned to gather historically significant material.  He \"knew everyone\" and \"everyone\" knew him.

While growing up, Tony absorbed the multiethnic cultural ambience of Ybor City and its primarily Cuban, Spanish, and Italian population.  A graduate of Hillsborough High School, he attended the University of Florida for two years, then transferred to Stetson University to study law.  After two years, he left Stetson to embark on a business career.  Following service in the U.S. Army during World War II, Pizzo started his own company, International Brands, a wine and beer distributorship. He subsequently accepted a position with Tampa Wholesale Liquors, which later became Midulla Importing Company and House of Midulla, Inc.  From 1950 to his retirement in 1984 Tony Pizzo was the company's vice president in charge of sales, also serving as president of Midulla affiliates Rey del Mundo Cigar Company (1965-1971) and Fruit Wines of Florida (1972-1984).    ","Pizzo was active in local business, civic, educational, and cultural organizations, including the Tampa General Hospital Foundation, Barrio Latino Commission, University of Tampa Foundation, University of South Florida President's Council, Ybor City Redevelopment Committee, Tampa Philharmonic Association, and Tampa Bay Business Hall of Fame.  He was the founder and first president of the Tampa International Trade Council, first president of the Ybor City Junior Chamber of Commerce, first president of the Rotary Club of Ybor City, and the first honorary mayor (alcalde) of Ybor City.  In 1952, the Cuban government awarded Tony Pizzo the Order of Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, and in 1976 the government of Italy invested him as a Knight Officer of the Order of Merit.  A 1993  Tampa Tribune  article commented that no other Tampan had been awarded so many honors for contributions and service to his community.","During the early 1950s, Tony Pizzo realized that the colorful, multiethnic Ybor City of his youth was rapidly fading away due to post-World War II demographic and economic changes.  He decided to make it his mission to preserve the history of Tampa's immigrant cigar makers and the community they built.  Over time, this mission expanded to include the history of the Tampa and Hillsborough County as a whole.  Pursuing his avocation for local history, Pizzo became the most prominent advocate of and spokesman for Tampa's historic heritage, earning the informal title \"Mr. Ybor City.\"","A prolific writer whose history articles appeared in a range of publications- from  Tampa Bay History  magazine to the popular press- his first book-length work,  Tampa Town, 1886-1834: Cracker Village with a Latin Accent,  appeared in 1968.  In 1979, Pizzo collaborated with WUSF Television in creating  Tony Pizzo's Tampa,  a ten-part documentary that won two awards from the National University Television Association.  In 1983, he co-authored a comprehensive history of Tampa and its vicinity,  Tampa, the Treasure City , with USF history professor Gary R. Mormino.","In 1971, Pizzo founded the Tampa Historical Society and served as its first president.  He was chairman of the Hillsborough County Historical Commission from 1968 to 1980, and from 1984 until his death was Hillsborough County's official historian.  As a Tampa native, civic leader, and prominent spokesman for local history, Pizzo was ideally positioned to gather historically significant material.  He \"knew everyone\" and \"everyone\" knew him.  His decades of gathering information about Tampa's past resulted in a monumental collection of historical materials documenting virtually every aspect of the community's historical heritage from its origins as a frontier fort to the dynamic, modern metropolis of today.  In a letter dated August 11, 1980, Tony Pizzo expressed his intention that the Special Collections Department at the University of South Florida's Tampa Library be the permanent repository for his unique collection.","This intention was realized on October 23, 1982 when USF President John Lott Brown formally accepted the Pizzo Collection during a gala dinner program held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Tampa.  Since that time, the Tony Pizzo Collection has become one of the most consulted and referenced resources for historians and other researchers studying Tampa history and culture.  As an \"open\" collection, librarians, historians and researchers regularly contribute to the growth and value of the collection.","Tony Pizzo died January 2, 1994 and was buried in the mausoleum at Myrtle Hill Memorial Park in Tampa.  He was survived by his wife of fifty-two years, Josephine (Acosta) Pizzo, and two sons, Paul and Anthony.","Basse, Craig.  \"Historian Tony Pizzo Dies.\"   St. Petersburg Times  4 January 1994, Community Times Tampa Bay and State section: pp. 1, 5B.","Cabrera, Cloe. \"The Loves of Tony Pizzo.\"   Tampa Tribune  11 January 1994, University section: 4.","DeSormier, Vicki.  \"Silhouettes:  Tony Pizzo.\"   La Gaceta   (November 20, 1987): 18. \"Dinner Program in Honor of Tony Pizzo.\"","Ex Libris: Journal of the USF Library Associates,  Summer 1982: 18.","Dunn, Hampton.  \"A Tribute to Tony Pizzo:  Hail!

Growing up in the bustling cigar city, Arsenio was immersed in the rich, multi-cultural ambience of its Spanish, Cuban and Italian immigrant population. Graduating from Plant High School in 1937, he trained at Brewster Vocational School, and then worked as a welder for the Tampa Shipbuilding Company.  In 1942 he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving in the navy's Seabee construction battalions in Alaska and at Iwo Jima.  Mustering out of the navy in 1945, he entered the University of Florida in Gainesville.  He completed a bachelor's degree in bacteriology in 1951, and shortly after graduation married West Tampa native Mary Greco. The couple remained in Gainesville, where Arsenio worked for several years as a research assistant in the university's Sanitary Research Laboratory. In 1955, Arsenio became an inspector of fruits and vegetables for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a position he held for twenty-three years until his retirement in 1978.  In 1982, he started a ten-year career with the West Tampa Convention Center.  Sanchez wrote his first historical article, \"Incentives Helped to Build West Tampa,\" in 1985, and thereafter played an increasingly prominent role in local history activities. Arsenio served for six years on the Tampa Historical Society's board of directors and was a frequent contributor to the society's journal, the Sunland Tribune.  He contributed articles to Tampa Bay History magazine, La Gaceta, and the Tampa Tribune as well.  Arsenio played a major role in the initiative to place markers at historic sites in West Tampa, in the restoration of Tampa's historic Oaklawn–St. Louis Cemetery, and in planning for West Tampa's centennial celebration in 1995.  A charter member of the Ybor City Museum Society, he was the organization's official historian and served on its board of directors. Becoming interested in the history of early West Florida, in 1998 he published a book on the subject, West Florida: A Short History.  In 2001, the Tampa Historical Society presented Arsenio with its D. B. McKay Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the study and preservation of Tampa's historic heritage.  Arsenio M. Sanchez died at age 89 on August 16, 2005.

Growing up in the bustling cigar city, Arsenio was immersed in the rich, multi-cultural ambience of its Spanish, Cuban and Italian immigrant population. Graduating from Plant High School in 1937, he trained at Brewster Vocational School, and then worked as a welder for the Tampa Shipbuilding Company.  In 1942 he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, serving in the navy's Seabee construction battalions in Alaska and at Iwo Jima.  Mustering out of the navy in 1945, he entered the University of Florida in Gainesville.  He completed a bachelor's degree in bacteriology in 1951, and shortly after graduation married West Tampa native Mary Greco. The couple remained in Gainesville, where Arsenio worked for several years as a research assistant in the university's Sanitary Research Laboratory. In 1955, Arsenio became an inspector of fruits and vegetables for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a position he held for twenty-three years until his retirement in 1978.  In 1982, he started a ten-year career with the West Tampa Convention Center.  Sanchez wrote his first historical article, \"Incentives Helped to Build West Tampa,\" in 1985, and thereafter played an increasingly prominent role in local history activities. Arsenio served for six years on the Tampa Historical Society's board of directors and was a frequent contributor to the society's journal, the Sunland Tribune.  He contributed articles to Tampa Bay History magazine, La Gaceta, and the Tampa Tribune as well.  Arsenio played a major role in the initiative to place markers at historic sites in West Tampa, in the restoration of Tampa's historic Oaklawn–St. Louis Cemetery, and in planning for West Tampa's centennial celebration in 1995.  A charter member of the Ybor City Museum Society, he was the organization's official historian and served on its board of directors. Becoming interested in the history of early West Florida, in 1998 he published a book on the subject, West Florida: A Short History.  In 2001, the Tampa Historical Society presented Arsenio with its D. B. McKay Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the study and preservation of Tampa's historic heritage.  Arsenio M. Sanchez died at age 89 on August 16, 2005.  He was survived by his wife Mary, daughter Sharon, and two grandchildren.","Froelich, Janis D.  \"Local historian documents details of West Tampa's past.\"  Tampa Tribune, South Tampa Edition .

His father, James Henry Keen, began the first Coca-Cola bottling plant in North Florida in River Junction in 1907, and the plant operated continuously until 1954, when it merged with the Coca-Cola bottling plant in Marianna, begun in 1913. For the Marianna operation, Keen's father organized a corporation known as Purity Bottling Works. In 1924, the Purity Bottling Works name was changed to the Marianna Coca-Cola Bottling Company. Upon James Henry Keen's death in 1942, his son, Charlton Keen, became president, secretary, and manager of this plant, and operated it until he died in 1957, when James Velma Keen became its president and director.\n Before graduating from the University of Florida, where he received the LL.B (1922) and A.B. (1923) degrees, James Velma Keen attended the Georgia School of Technology, Oglethorpe University, and the University of Pittsburgh. He was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1923 and began his law practice in Sarasota, principally with the firm of Sawyer, Surrency, Carter, and Keen, which Keen operated from 1922-1932.\n During his residence in Sarasota, he served as State Attorney for the 27th Judicial District. In 1927, he campaigned for Mayor of Sarasota, but was not elected. From 1927 to 1929, he was Chairman of the Board of Public Instruction of Sarasota County. In 1930, he was State Attorney in Sarasota County. From 1931 to 1933 he served in the Florida State Legislature as a Representative from Sarasota County. From 1933-1936 he served as Florida Assistant Attorney General. In November 1936 he moved to and opened a law practice in Tallahassee (Keen, O'Kelley and Spitz), which he maintained until his death on March 4, 1963. His firm engaged in general civil practice, and practiced school, taxation, administrative, legislative, corporate, estate, insurance, and real estate law. During 1940-1941, he served as president of the Florida Bar Association, and for many years was a member of the American Bar Association. He authored articles in the Florida Law Journal, and served as a member and as chairman of committees of the Florida Bar.\n Keen was very active in Florida public education. This was demonstrated by his service as trustee of Florida Southern College, president of the Southern Scholarship and Research Foundation, his chairmanships of the Continuing Education Council of Florida (whose purpose was \"to continue over a long period of time a concerted effort to correct and improve public schools\") since 1947 and the Florida State Advisory Committee on School Libraries from 1962-1963, his memberships on the National Citizens Council for Better Schools, the Education Committee of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce from 1948 until his death, and the Florida Advisory Council on Education, from 1952-1953. These activities were recognized by Florida State University (FSU) when the honorary degree of Doctor of Law was conferred upon him in 1959.\n Keen also made many contributions to financial and commercial enterprises. In 1952, he was one of the founders of the Leon Federal Savings and Loan Association in Tallahassee, and served as its president from the time it was organized until his death, and he held the positions of First and Second Vice Presidents of the Florida Historical Society from 1954-1957. He was a founder and director of the Commonwealth Corporation, with its principal office in Tallahassee, served on the board of directors of several other corporations, a president of the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce in 1945, 1946, and 1948, and a director of the Florida Chamber of Commerce during the 1950s.\n In 1955, Keen became the first chair of Florida's Nuclear Development Commission, serving in that capacity until 1961. The Nuclear Development Commission was a citizens' group whose purpose was to assist in providing direction and guidance to nuclear development in Florida. Initially, it was concerned with recruiting and retaining good teachers of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and motivating elementary and high school students in careers in science and engineering. The Commission expanded its activities by recommending the establishment of nuclear energy programs at state universities, with a minimum of a basic science and nuclear research program. These programs would include a suitable particle accelerator at FSU and a reactor at the University of Florida. He was also a member of the Regional Advisory Council on Nuclear Energy, an organization of 17 southern states concerned with the use of nuclear power as an energy source and the storage of radioactive waste. Keen noted in a 1957 speech at the Florida Newsmen's Seminar on Nuclear Energy that several nuclear scientists believed that \"when the presently planned facilities and programs at FSU and the University of Florida are complete, Florida's nuclear education opportunities will be on par with the finest in the nation.\"\n Keen was also one of the founders of the Southern Interstate Nuclear Compact in 1959, a voluntary agreement established by the 16-state Southern Governors' Conference to \"provide the means for cooperation with each other in fostering the development of the region by taking full advantage of nuclear energy.\" On March 19, 1966, to honor his work in nuclear energy development, the James Velma Keen Physics Building was dedicated on the FSU campus. A portrait of Keen was unveiled in the building on December 8, 1967.","Portions of collection available online?: No","MSS 1970-150 was originally processed in March 1971.

These activities were recognized by Florida State University (FSU) when the honorary degree of Doctor of Law was conferred upon him in 1959.\n Keen also made many contributions to financial and commercial enterprises. In 1952, he was one of the founders of the Leon Federal Savings and Loan Association in Tallahassee, and served as its president from the time it was organized until his death, and he held the positions of First and Second Vice Presidents of the Florida Historical Society from 1954-1957. He was a founder and director of the Commonwealth Corporation, with its principal office in Tallahassee, served on the board of directors of several other corporations, a president of the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce in 1945, 1946, and 1948, and a director of the Florida Chamber of Commerce during the 1950s.\n In 1955, Keen became the first chair of Florida's Nuclear Development Commission, serving in that capacity until 1961. The Nuclear Development Commission was a citizens' group whose purpose was to assist in providing direction and guidance to nuclear development in Florida. Initially, it was concerned with recruiting and retaining good teachers of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and motivating elementary and high school students in careers in science and engineering. The Commission expanded its activities by recommending the establishment of nuclear energy programs at state universities, with a minimum of a basic science and nuclear research program. These programs would include a suitable particle accelerator at FSU and a reactor at the University of Florida. He was also a member of the Regional Advisory Council on Nuclear Energy, an organization of 17 southern states concerned with the use of nuclear power as an energy source and the storage of radioactive waste. Keen noted in a 1957 speech at the Florida Newsmen's Seminar on Nuclear Energy that several nuclear scientists believed that \"when the presently planned facilities and programs at FSU and the University of Florida are complete, Florida's nuclear education opportunities will be on par with the finest in the nation.\"\n Keen was also one of the founders of the Southern Interstate Nuclear Compact in 1959, a voluntary agreement established by the 16-state Southern Governors' Conference to \"provide the means for cooperation with each other in fostering the development of the region by taking full advantage of nuclear energy.\" On March 19, 1966, to honor his work in nuclear energy development, the James Velma Keen Physics Building was dedicated on the FSU campus. A portrait of Keen was unveiled in the building on December 8, 1967."],"originalsloc_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003ePortions of collection available online?: No\u003c/p\u003e"],"originalsloc_heading_ssm":["Existence and Location of Originals"],"originalsloc_tesim":["Portions of collection available online?: No"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eJames Velma Keen Papers, Special Collections \u0026amp; Archives, Florida State University Libraries, Tallahassee, Florida.\nhttps://purl.lib.fsu.edu/fa/MSS-1970-150\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["James Velma Keen Papers, Special Collections \u0026 Archives, Florida State University Libraries, Tallahassee, Florida.\nhttps://purl.lib.fsu.edu/fa/MSS-1970-150"],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eMSS 1970-150 was originally processed in March 1971.

His father, James Henry Keen, began the first Coca-Cola bottling plant in North Florida in River Junction in 1907, and the plant operated continuously until 1954, when it merged with the Coca-Cola bottling plant in Marianna, begun in 1913. For the Marianna operation, Keen's father organized a corporation known as Purity Bottling Works. In 1924, the Purity Bottling Works name was changed to the Marianna Coca-Cola Bottling Company. Upon James Henry Keen's death in 1942, his son, Charlton Keen, became president, secretary, and manager of this plant, and operated it until he died in 1957, when James Velma Keen became its president and director.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore graduating from the University of Florida, where he received the LL.B (1922) and A.B.

In 1930, he was State Attorney in Sarasota County. From 1931 to 1933 he served in the Florida State Legislature as a Representative from Sarasota County. From 1933-1936 he served as Florida Assistant Attorney General. In November 1936 he moved to and opened a law practice in Tallahassee (Keen, O'Kelley and Spitz), which he maintained until his death on March 4, 1963. His firm engaged in general civil practice, and practiced school, taxation, administrative, legislative, corporate, estate, insurance, and real estate law.
