Exhibition offers a peek behind the big top
Get ready for snake charmers, high-wire walkers,
daredevils, and Mamie Kline, Queen of the Iron Jaw.
Circus! The Photographs of Frederick W. Glasier opened
at the History Center on Saturday, May 25, offering
a behind-the-scenes look at life under the big top.
On loan from the John and Mable Ringling
Museum of Art, the collection of more than 60 rare
black and white photographs captures the working
life of circus performers in the early 20th century,
from ticket takers and sideshow performers to
contortionists, clowns, and acrobats.
Photographer Frederick W. Glasier traveled with
Ringling Bros., the Sparks Circus, and the Buffalo
Bill Wild West Show during the early 1900s through
the 1930s, documenting the behind-the-scenes lives
and work of traveling showmen and entertainers.
His lens captures both the spectacle and humanity
of the American circus during its heyday.
The photographs selected for the History
Center’s exhibition are part of a unique collection
of more than 1,700 original glass plate negatives
made by Glasier between 1896 and the 1930s and
preserved in the archives of the Ringling.
The prints in the exhibition are reproductions,
made using an elaborate digital process that
involves scanning gelatin silver prints from the
original glass negatives and printing them on archival
paper. During this process, the technicians have the
ability to extract details in the images that have never
been seen before, as well as enlarge the images far
beyond the size that Glasier would have been able
to print at the beginning of the 20th century.
“These photos give us a unique perspective into
the lives of circus performers and showmen, many
of whom either came through the Tampa Bay area
while on tour or lived here during the winter,” said
Rodney Kite-Powell, the History Center’s Saunders
Foundation Curator of History.
Circus! The Photographs of Frederick W. Glasier has
been organized by the John and Mable Ringling
Museum of Art, the State Art Museum of
Florida, and Florida State University, Sarasota,
FL. Circus! is on exhibit through Aug. 4, and is
sponsored by the Kimmins Foundation and the
Tampa Bay Times.

From the president
Not a day goes by that I am not
reminded of the important work we are
doing at the Tampa Bay History
Center. Whether watching a group of
schoolchildren learn about the history of
their community or listening to tourists
express surprise upon learning that Florida
has so many rich stories to tell, I am
reminded of the significant role we fulfill.
Two recent events, in particular, have reinforced this notion.
The first involved a letter I received from a woman who recently
celebrated her 89th birthday and was reflecting on her family’s
history. She wrote that her father was a cigar worker who
emigrated from Cuba, and that she still has the tools he used to
practice his trade. She told me how much she looks forward to
visiting the History Center to see our Cigar City exhibit and
reminisce. Needless to say, we immediately called her retirement
home and are working with them to ensure that she does have an
opportunity to visit. How wonderful, I thought, that our community
has a place that captures and preserves the experiences of her
parents and can serve as a repository for her family’s collections
should she decide to donate them.
The other event involved the premiere of a documentary
produced by the Young Lawyers Division of the Hillsborough
County Bar Association. The documentary, Before the Law Was
Equal, chronicles the desegregation of the legal system in the
Tampa Bay area. It features oral histories from many in the
profession who assisted in the process of integration and who
worked to break barriers. Since the time the documentary was
produced, our community lost two pioneers in the struggle for
equality with the passing of Judge Don Castor and Reece Smith,
prominent Tampa attorney and former president of the American
Bar Association. I applaud the Bar for ensuring that these stories
will be preserved, and I am delighted that we were able to share
these oral histories with our members and guests.
As I observed the audience at the premiere, I was reminded
that we not only serve as a museum, but also an important
community gathering space. The History Center is a place where
groups can come together to learn about, celebrate, and
commemorate our community’s rich heritage.
The importance of our work is obvious, but the reminders can
sometimes be very powerful.

In memoriam
Frank R. North
Frank North (far right) with TBHC trustees Rob Wolf and Chris Osborn at
the History Center’s 2006 Annual Meeting.
Frank North, former board member of the Tampa Bay History
Center, passed away on Easter Sunday, March 31. His love of both
history and his hometown of Tampa came to life during his 11year tenure on the board of trustees. Frank’s duties on the board
included leading, at different times, both the marketing
committee and the USF committee. He was tireless in his
promotion of the History Center, and he was understandably
proud when another one of the loves in his life–his daughter
Kristin–was hired in 2008 to lead the visitor services staff.
In addition to his time with the History Center, Frank also
served three terms as president of the Tampa Historical Society,
from 1998-2000. It was at the Historical Society where Frank was
able to flex his journalistic muscles. He edited the Society’s
journal, the Sunland Tribune, from 1998-2002, helping to bring new
scholarship focusing on local history to light. His term as
editor came at a very important time because it coincided with the
decision by the University of South Florida’s history department
to cease publication of their journal, Tampa Bay History. His
efforts earned him the Society’s 2003 D. B. McKay Award for his
many contributions toward the promotion of state and local
history. In 2007, Frank was instrumental in the revival of Tampa
Bay History, now published through a partnership between the
History Center and the USF Libraries’ special collections department.
Frank gave his time and energy to the History Center when the
dream for a permanent home was just that–a dream. Through the
hard work and dedicated efforts of people like Frank, that dream
became a reality. He instilled his dedication and his love of
history into his children, who will carry that legacy into the future.
Leland M. Hawes Jr.
On Saturday, May 18,
we lost a great friend
and supporter when
Leland M. Hawes Jr.
passed away at the age
of 83. Leland was one
of the early advocates
for a history museum in
Tampa, but true to his
journalistic integrity, he
didn’t feel it would be
appropriate to serve on
the new Tampa Bay
History Center’s board. Instead, he sat on the
fledgling
museum’s
advisory committee and
helped guide the creation
Leland cuts the ribbon for the opening
of the History Center’s day of the History Center’s Franklin Street
first preview center location in 1996.
location at the shops at Harbour Island, which opened in March
1994. By that time, he was already 12 years into his “new” job of
History & Heritage columnist for the Tampa Tribune.
Leland supported the efforts to both preserve and write about
our area’s history in a wide variety of ways. His financial support
for the Tampa Bay History Center, the University of South Florida
Libraries’ special collections department, and USF St. Petersburg’s
Florida Studies Program only scratches the surface. He was tireless
in his assistance to historians, reporters, and authors who
constantly sought his council. Whether it was to clarify a date,
provide information about a person, explain a familial relationship,
or to offer advice on publishing an article or a book, Leland never
lost his patience and always made people feel like their question,
their problem, or their publication was important to him.
After retiring from the Tribune, Leland agreed to join the
History Center’s board of trustees. As a board member, he served
on the museum’s collections committee–a position he maintained
even after his term on the board ended. Again, he was always
there to offer advice or to help explain the importance of–or more
often the connections between–an artifact to our area’s history.
His contributions to our community were great, and his absence
will certainly be felt for years to come. That loss will be felt even
more by his family, his friends, and all of the budding journalists,
writers, and historians he helped along the way. – RKP.

2012 Annual Report
Dear Friends of the Tampa Bay History Center,
Thanks to our many supporters, members, and friends, the History Center enjoyed a very successful 2012. It is with great pride that I share

• The largest gift of 2012 was a donation of artifacts from former Gov. Bob Martinez related
to his career in public office.
• The History Center received a dollhouse of the Hutchinson House in Hyde Park. A oneof-a-kind representation of Tampa history and architecture, the dollhouse was built in 1977
as part of a fundraising initiative to restore the house and make it suitable for office
space. Local attorney and custodian of the Hutchinson House, Matthew D. Powell, recently
purchased the dollhouse from its previous owner and generously donated it to the History
Center. Representatives from Melita Coffee and Tampa’s
Buddy Brew serve up some freshly-roasted java
during the opening for Coffee: The World in Your
Cup.
Membership
• Nearly 300 new households were added to the History Center’s membership rolls.
• Parking validation was added as a member benefit.
• Bok Tower Gardens and the Armed Forces History Museum were added to the History
Center’s reciprocal program.

Republican National Convention.
As you can see, 2012 was an exciting year of growth and progress for
the History Center. I am honored to continue this year as chair of the
board of trustees and I want to thank my fellow trustees for their hard
work and vision, which has led us through another successful year.
Sincerely,
Paul L. Whiting Jr.

Egypt Temple Shriners Fez emblem
member’s role, “Past Potentate,” below the emblem. The tassel,
2010.082.001 | Courtesy of James C. Handly Jr.
By Jamie Lynn Riedy, Collections Department Volunteer
This fez belonged to James C.
Handly Sr., a long-time member
of Tampa’s Egypt Temple. Mr.
Handly wore the fez after he
completed his term as the
temple’s potentate (chapter
president) in 1946. As temple
potentate, Handly was instrumental in planning and executing
Tampa’s first Cigar Bowl football game, held in January 1947, to benefit Shriners Hospital. He was a dedicated community servant who,
among his many other activities, served as president of the Tampa
Chapter of the American Red Cross from 1935 to 1940 and was
commander of USS Tampa Post 5, American Legion, 1934-1935.
Handly received the “Outstanding Citizen of the Year” award from
the Tampa Civitan Club in 1945.
This particular fez dates from the mid to late 1940s. It was crafted
by the Cincinnati Regalia Company, which specialized in fraternal
organization gear and accessories and operated for over 100 years
before it went out of business in 1998 due to declining sales.
The fez is constructed of heavy red felt and adorned with
hand-embroidered and rhinestone-studded gold braid Shriners
bound by a rhinestone band, is fastened to the left side of the fez
with a single silver scimitar pin. The top of the fez is perforated with
small holes for air flow.
Mr. Martin Mendelson of D. Turin & Company, a Shriners regalia
manufacturer located in Hialeah, Florida, estimates that the fez could
have taken a full two days to make and cost about $15 or $16 at the
time of its purchase. Today, a comparable fez would cost $275-$300.
The fez was adopted as the official headgear for members of the
fraternal organization formally called the Ancient Arabic Order of
the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, better known as the Shriners, at
the group’s inception in 1872. Although fez adornment is strictly
regulated, the fez may be personalized with the name of the
member’s temple (club chapter) and other decoration indicating the
member’s roles within their chapter. Every fez displays the Shriners
emblem which consists of a scimitar, sphinx, claws, and star.

represents the membership, the two claws symbolize the Shriners’
emphasis on philanthropy and fraternity, the sphinx symbolizes the
organization’s governing body, and the star represents all of the
children that the organization has helped through its charitable works
and donations.
Monument trail winds through history
Saunders Foundation Curator of History and Historical Monument Trail
Chairman Rodney Kite-Powell unveils the six new honorees at a press
conference in April.
A prominent newspaper publisher, a civil rights attorney, an
outspoken civic activist, two pioneering Tampa business leaders, and
a Cuban revolutionary are the latest additions to the downtown
Riverwalk’s Historical Monument Trail.
Monument Trail selection committee chairman and History Center
curator Rodney Kite-Powell announced the new honorees at an
unveiling ceremony at the History Center on April 23. He was joined
by Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn, Monument Trail chairman Steven
Anderson, local elected officials, and family members.
Newly named to the Historical Monument Trail are Florida Sentinel
Bulletin publisher C. Blythe Andrews; civil rights attorney Cody
Fowler; community activist Kate Jackson; Tampa businessman Peter
O. Knight; Cuban revolutionary leader Paulina Pedroso; and
African- American civic leader and business owner G.D. Rogers.
Local sculptor Steve Dickey will create bronze busts of the six
honorees, which will be placed along the Riverwalk in the fall.
They’ll join the original six honorees, cigar manufacturer V.M. Ybor;
railroad magnate Henry Plant; nurse Clara Frye; suffragette Eleanor
Chamberlain; businessman James McKay; and a native Tocobaga
fisherman.
“These six honorees are truly special people,” said Steve
Anderson, chair of Monument Trail Committee and vice chair of
the Friends of the Riverwalk. “They've been leaders, most of them
without ever being elected. They've inspired us. ... They stood their
ground on just, maybe unpopular causes.”
The Monument Trail Selection Committee researches and vets
candidates to be included on the Trail. To be considered, nominees
must have resided in Tampa or Hillsborough County, made a lasting
contribution to the development of the local community, and must
have been deceased for at least 15 years.
Nominations can be made by contacting Rodney Kite-Powell at
rkp@tampabayhistorycenter.org.
