Show morePolly Lenzen was born in Webster Groves, Missouri, on May 27, 1924. She is not married, and she has no children. Ms. Lenzen attended Harris Teachers College in St. Louis, Missouri during and after World War II. After college, she began her teaching career in Ladue, Missouri, and then moved to Maui, Hawaii, where she taught eighth grade for two years. She returned to the mainland and began teaching in South Florida, first in Dania, then at Stranahan Elementary in Fort lauderdale, and then she spent the next 35 years teaching mainly kindergarten at the Davie School in Davie, Florida. She was able to experience the many changes that took place there between the 1950s and the present and was able to take part in the Orange Blossom Festivals, attend the rodeos, and be a part of many school events. Teaching and traveling have always been Ms. Lenzen's two passions-she has traveled extensively, both domestically and internationally, taking approximately 100 cruises over the years. In 1963, for example, she took a trip around the world on three ships, spending three months abroad; one of those months was dedicated to travel in the Middle East. She also owned an RV and took a number of road trips in that vehicle. The best lessons she was able to teach her many young students involved, in her words, "fair play and kindness.'' Ms. Lenzen would most like to be remembered for her two passions: teaching and traveling.

Show moreA well known public servant, businessman, and political leader, Philip D. Lewis has lived in Palm Beach County since the early 1930s, when his family moved to Palm Beach from Chicago. After attending Georgetown University, he married Maryellen Howley of Lake Worth and joined his father’s real estate development firm. In 1958 he established Philip D.

He and his wife became the parents of nine children, all educated, as were their parents, in local parochial schools. He was elected to the Florida Senate in 1970 and served as that body’s president 1979-1980. Since leaving elected office he has served the county and the state in a myriad of ways, often drafted for service by Florida governors for posts ranging from chairmanship of aging and water management studies to post-hurricane reviews and service on blue ribbon education panels.

Show moreBishop Gracida is a former Benedictine Monk. After serving in the Army Air Corps. 303d "Hell's Angels" Bombardment Group as a gunner pilot during WWII, Bishop Gracida trained as an architect. During the war, Bishop Gracida was one of the pilots that flew over and fire bombed Dresden. Following his time in the Army, he had a conversion experience and entered a St Vincent Benedictine monastery. Thanks to his training as an architect, he assisted in the building of the church for the monastery, and later, ran into troubles with his Archabbot over building issues with a dormitory. This soured his relationship with the Archabbot, leading him to becoming a priest in the Archdiocese of Miami, where he served faithfully as a priest for thirteen years, all prior to his being named a bishop of the Roman Catholic Church. In his interview, he discusses his time in the Army Air Corps. He goes on to discuss his conversion experience back to the faith that led him to his vocation. Additionally, he discusses the political entity that is the Catholic Church, and the machinations of the Church. He discusses controversial topics from the death penalty and abortion to sanctuary and a controversy over the singer Madonna and the Pepsi Co. Corporation. He discusses his interactions with Archbishop Coleman Caroll extensively, as well as his time as the first bishop of Pensacola-Tallahassee.
