"I am sending The Spencerian on an extended hiatus.I am not sure when it will be back, if at all.".....Ben Kirby

"Fred Karl was a role model for excellent public service. His lifelong legacy as a public servant draws the conclusion: 'Well done, thy good and faithful servant.' "...Bill Nelson
"Fred Karl was born to be a public servant. He tackled issues with a sense of fairness, respect and honesty, always reflecting his personal and professional high standards. His values and character were shaped in large part by his generation that viewed duty, sacrifice and civic engagement as necessary components of a full and meaningful life."...Pam Iorio
"Fred Karl was a war hero, dutiful public servant and statesman. No matter his role, Fred was always a calming influence on those around him. He believed that fairness should always carry the day, and his love for our community and the people who shaped it, regardless of their color or creed, superseded anything else."...Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn
"He wore many hats. He loved public service. And he made a positive impact on our community. We are a better place because Fred Karl lived and served here."...Jan Platt

Tampa Is Joining The 21st Century
Things Are Starting To Look Up Around Here
Two weeks ago i get an e-mail from a group called Connect Tampa Bay asking me to join them. The other day i meet these folks from Vote Transit in Dowtown Tampa. Both want to bring Mass-Transit to our area. Today i read in The Times that Tampa soon could have a public bike-rental program similar to those in New York and Washington, D.C.

Should we thank Mayor Bob for all this? He did say, "The downside risk is that we try it and it doesn't work.
But we'll never know unless we try."
I am starting to like the big guy.
