Recently, my mother and I got unexpected good news. The team from Southeasten Printing, printers of our A Pictorial History of Palm City, attended the Florida Graphic Alliance awards ceremony in Orlando, and mom and my book won Best Hard Cover Book for all entries in the state of Florida!

Southeastern Printing has a long history in Martin County- over 100 years. Don Mader is the present owner of this excellent company now based in Miami. Long time employee, Darcey McNiff Thompson, informed my mother and I of the win and kindly stopped by mom’s house to share the certificate. Heidi Rich of richworks graphics was the designer of the book, and my brother Todd worked the historic maps on the inside covers. Sandra Henderson Thurlow and I wrote the book, and to this day, this experience has been one of the most rewarding of my life. The book was published in 2024.

Thank you to Southeastern Printing and everyone who loves history! To purchase a book, see my mother’s website here. Photographs below shared by Darcey McGriff Thompson.
