Last day of the races!

As I understand it we are all going over to the new Feld Headquarters which I am told is the largest building in Florida.
This is me negotiating our first contract almost 40 years ago at the old office in D.C. standing Pat on $35 a week and Cook House!
I still bear the scars of my wife kicking me under the table.
At it's conclusion he mentioned, "You are the First Dept. Head I've hired, I hope Dad likes You"
...and I thought "Me Too!"

Both the State & Manatee County

gave Feld enormous concessions

to get this tremendous building

& property (with rail spurs) on

the tax rolls after being empty

for many years when Siemans & GE

stopped production of turbines

A great location with

interstate I-75 access

nearby on US Route 301

Not in Sarasota but not

very far away either

So many skills, crafts and capabilities under one roof, along with a treasure trove of costume history!
