Carol Mahler will sign her new
book, Guy LaBree: Barefoot Artist of
the Florida Seminoles, at noon to 3 p.m. on
Friday, March 12, at Hooked on Books. Published
by the University Press of Florida, the book
features 42 of LaBree's paintings, including the two
images that hang in the Smithsonian National Museum
of the American Indian. Mahler interviewed
LaBree about each painting, and she researched the
cultural and historical contexts of his artwork that
focuses on Seminole legends, life/traditions,
history, and Florida wildlife. Her essays
provide a unique "fourth dimension" to the
artist's realistic and detailed canvases. For
information about the event, please call
941-637-8002. Details about the book are
available at http://upf.com/book.asp?id=MAHLEF09.

On
Saturday, March 20, at 1:00 p.m. at
the Military Heritage Museum in Fishermen's Village in
Punta Gorda, Dr. Robert Smiley will present
"The Greatest Naval Disaster," which will
detail the mission of the USS Indianapolis
(CA-35) in delivering the atomic bombs which were dropped
on Japan and the disaster to the ship following the
mission.
As
it was cruising from being provisioned in Guam to
Leyte, a lone Japanese submarine found the USS
Indianapolis in its periscope and fired six torpedoes.
These torpedoes hit the Indianapolis, and it sank in
10,000 feet of water in just 12 minutes.
Although the radioman sent the SOS and it was
received, no assistance was sent and the men spent
many days in the shark infested waters where many of
them died. Those still alive were sighted by accident
and rescued.
Dr. Smiley tells the story with words and photos of
the ship. His service on the battleship, USS
Missouri and the submarine, USS Toro,
give him a unique insight into this epic sinking of
this US warship. For more information, please call
575-9002.

On Wednesday, March 24, from
5:00 to 7:00 p.m., three original Navajo Code Talkers
will speak briefly and answer questions in Center
Court in Fishermen's Village, followed by a reception
in the Military Heritage Museum. According to www.navajocodetalkers.org,
the Navajo Code Talkers were young men who
fashioned the most ingenious and successful code in
military history, transmitting secret communications
on the battlefields of WWII at a time when the best
cryptographers were falling short. Serving with
distinction from 1942-1945, their unbreakable code
played a pivotal role in saving countless lives and
hastening the war's end. For more information, call
575-9002.
