…just after the annual Christmas meeting of Orlando Remembered. Swampy is with members Shirley Cannon and Ann Bennett. Orlando Remembered puts up extensive displays in buildings all around Downtown of the history of each area around the buildings.
Here’s Swampy, Rob and Marcia Gaedcke, President of the Titusville Area Chamber of Commerce with a page of art for the upcoming ‘Swampy’s Florida: Titusville’.
James W. Rossetter, was a native of Hamilton County, Florida, and came south to be involved with the prosperous fishing industry in the Cape Canaveral area. Rossetter moved the pre-Civil War house above to it’s present location in Eau Gallie around 1904. He expanded it a number of times.
The home is open for touring and is run by the Florida Historical Society. Their office is across from the Rossetter House in a building once occupied by William Roesch. Roesch served as Eau Gallie Mayor and postmaster for many years in the early 1900s. That building is below.
Also below is a photo of Rossetter Park and the entry sign to the structures on Highland Avenue in Eau Gallie.
Holed up in The House of Joe in Melbourne to get the last four of the Swampy Webcomics penciled and inked.
The new single panel comic premieres in January. Seven of those are already finished. The new version stars Swampy and Pasco Pete as they present interesting Florida historic facts.
