| Dr. James Marlowe with Port Richey city officials, about 1962. Left to right: city council members Phil Cippolo and Art Nolan, Dr. James Marlowe, Mayor Paul Runyon, council member William Bennett Sr. Robert Marlowe, who provided the photo, writes: "The story goes that shortly after Christmas 1962, my dad came to Florida to visit three towns he had corresponded with that were looking for a physician. He circled around the block in the first town and didn't stop...that was Chiefland. He got to the second town (Port Richey) and saw the banner on the building in the picture and he never made it to the third town." |
