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.

Our community is getting ready to celebrate a new chapter in the life of our youth as the oldest of these graduate high school.

Hate crimes galore; blaming Trump for despicable synagogues shootings. Bad “stuff” occurring nationwide!

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