After a working career and raising two daughters, my wife and I moved to the Florida Panhandle. It was in the historic town of Apalachicola that I began creating and caring for the Orman House State Park Museum. When I started, the house was an empty shell. Immersed in local history, I now enjoy sharing Apalachicola's rich heritage with thousands of visitors from around the world. Apalachicola Pearl, Apalachicola Gold, and Apalachicola Mother of Pearl were born from my passion for the town's history and its people. My sincere wish is for you to enjoy reading the books as much as I enjoyed writing them.
