The Park was renamed by the Florida Legislature in his honor. some info at FL Div. of Cultural Affairs: Florida Artists Hall of Fame and see Gamble Rogers Folk Festival and Gamble Rogers Memorial Foundation ALSO: Believe it or not a transcript of an amazing radio conversation between a US naval ship and Canadian authorities was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on Oct. 10, 1995. I know it's true because I received it in an e-mail from 75 people just yesterday. Even the US navy post the story at its official website.
