A Florida Time reader shares a story about what she learned during a school project in Palm Beach County during the 70s. 

“Reader Rewind” is a digital radio show featuring the personal histories of Floridians from around the state -- and even the country. The goal is simple: Florida doesn’t just belong to historian and Florida Time columnist Eliot Kleinberg. It belongs to everyone: natives, transplants and vacationers alike.

Reader Rewind features the oral histories of Florida Time readers. They call in, they share their story, we edit it into a show and voila!
