One thing you have to realize is that this "hospice" was a very important, socially prominent charity for anybody who was anybody in that part of Florida. Granted, these folks may be nobody outside of Pinellas Park, but among folks who consider themselves modern, progressive, "non-Cracker" Floridians, Felos' "hospice" was the place to see and be seen.

Gimme a good ol' Cracker any day.

I live in North Florida, but unfortunately in the only non-Cracker county in this part of the state - Alachua County, the home of the University of Florida. So I have to tolerate the ravings of the Gainesville Sun, a NYTimes paper, urging that Terri Schiavo be exterminated right now, on the double. Le toute Pinellas Park would agree.

It has been pointed out that nearly ALL the players in Terri's drama are native Northerners transplanted to FL -- the Schindlers, the Schiavos, George W. Greer, Felos, others?

Indeed. Any day at all.
