Approval of Minutes of December 1999 meeting
There being no corrections or additions to the minutes of the last meeting, it was moved
and seconded that the minutes be approved. Motion carried.
Old Business
Ms. Stinecipher asked for an update on the installation of a plaque on the museum's
darkroom in memory of Donald Vincent. There has been no action taken on this since
the darkroom has not been in use. Ms Clarke said she would research the cost of
purchasing all new matching dedication plaques for the gallery, meeting room, and
darkroom. A lengthy discussion of the contributions of the Vincent family followed.
Mr. Packard expressed concern about the proximity of Lake Carola to the back of the
museum. He stated that he had been worried about this since he first came on the board.
Ms. Clarke reminded the board that former City Commission liaison Kerry Lyons had
promised to pursue an engineering solution to this problem but that this project was put
• on hold due to construction plans for the convention center. The board requested that a
note regarding this matter be sent to new liaison Brady Lessard.

Mr. Cara asked if the retired Navy officers group had decided to meet at the museum.
Ms. Clarke said Don Moore was working on this. Ms. Clarke also explained that she was
working to encourage a community effort to build a Navy memorial at the airport. There
was an attempt to do this years ago which failed. The museum is focusing on collecting
the history of the Sanford Naval Air Station during 2000. The museum has developed a
good relationship with the Fleet Reserve and a special open house will be planned in
conjunction with the Fleet Reserve reunion this June. The museum will also be assisting
the Museum of Seminole County History with the installation of a permanent display on
the SNAS at the airport.
Discussion followed regarding the history of the Navy base.
New Business
Ms. Clarke asked for help in creating a list of celebrities with a connection to Sanford.
The museum now has sports stars, actors, singers, and authors. The museum would like
to add people from other fields. The board suggested Richard Holtzclaw, opera singer;
• Doug Marlette, cartoonist; Bill Park, cartoonist; Buddy Rawls, actor; Henry Lovell, WWI
pilot; and Lash LaRue, actor. Mr. Stenstrom suggested researching Henry McLemore's
place on Southwest road where Muhammed Ali stayed while visiting Sanford.
Discussion followed.
Mr. Carlson asked for new museum brochures.
Ms. Clarke announced that the museum has a new museum assistant, Brandi Wilmot.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:25pm.
