Let the healing begin  

When the board decided to end the work of the TT Wentworth Jr. Foundation four years ago, we believed our efforts had been completed. We left our work on the history of northwest Florida and the contributions made by the Wentworth family in the good hands of the UWF Historic Trust and Pensacola State College. However, sometimes history finds us.  Recent revelations about our founder’s leadership in the KKK now compel us to return to right past wrongs wherever possible. This is where we now find ourselves as the family and former board members of the foundation.    

The Navarre Press asked readers to tell us what they are thankful for this year. Here’s a sampling of our favorites.

‘I am grateful for many things’

That my youngest daughter graduated college (ceremony and all) in December, before the lockdowns.
That despite having to cancel a trip to NYC (with my daughters) and a dream trip to Italy (birthplace of my grandparents), that our family was lucky enough to have gone to Alaska and France the last two years. Great trips.

Every day, roughly 400 veterans receive honorable discharges and return to civilian life. 

Your compassionate editorial on abortion was spot on, my sentiments too!

Our long national hysteria may not be over, but at least it should — by rights — be diminished.

As I attended the Santa Rosa County March 14, 2019, Zoning Board meeting, I thought I would share a few things that concern me.

Here’s my two cents on Michael Cohen’s first day of testimony, watched all day. It struck me as the pot calling the kettle black, an attempt to destroy President Trump.

I suppose, in the interest of full disclosure, I should state that my wife and I have been residents of the Navarre/Santa Rosa area since last August. While nine months of living here hardly makes me an expert on the area, in our previous community I served seven years as Mayor. The experience was both rewarding and educational.

As fellow, red-blooded Americans who cherish the freedoms this nation provides, we at Florida Tax Watch hold dear the independent and unfiltered manner of governmental entities placing public notices in local newspapers of record. Such notices further a citizen’s right to know about their elected official’s decisions affecting their daily lives–a bedrock principle of our constitutional democratic republic.

Reps. Omar, Tlaib, some democrats and their ilk, determined Sharia Law overtake America, are ratcheting up efforts to “get” Trump.
