The real take-away of my story-The Compound- is “These small fragments of Miami history might be lost, forgotten if not pieced together for readers and kept in the archives of History Miami”. and “For those years The Compound housed creative, talented Herald writers”. It combines the creative writing style of the Miami Herald then, with a historic Miami address.

Karin Stahl’s “Santa at Burdines…” in Sunday’s paper was a delightful read! It also prompted me to send a photo printed December 17, 1961 in the Miami News of Santa in Burdines. The photo of Santa is Frank Booth, my husband, who was working for Burdines at the time.
