The NAS Fort Lauderdale Museum had a large exhibit at the War Memorial Auditorium, courtesy of Florida East Coast Collector, Inc. We brought in several mannequins, vintage photograph displays about the Naval base and Port Everglades during WWII, poster boards relating to the history of the Museum, Flight 19 videos and NASFL memorabilia. We met many attendees who were very interested in our exhibit. Some of them remembered going to high-school at the naval base, and others (or their relatives) had been stationed at the base. It was a good exchange, as they were able to connect once again with their history. We received a very positive feedback and everyone enjoyed hanging around our booth. Thank you to our volunteers: Allan McElhiney, Debbie Hamilton, Russell Liddick, Fran Scheffler, John & Minerva Bloom, Dorothy Riser, Karl Bork & Mai Hibler, John Casey and David Epstein.
If you are interested in having a presentation of WWII History and the Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale at your School, Institution or Event contact the Museum. We have a traveling exhibit (smaller than this booth) with fold-out boards, memorabilia and videos as well as volunteer staff to do the presentation. Please let us know in advance so we can make preparations.
