The William Gladden Jr. Collection

A collection celebrating the life of Michael Gladden Jr.'s nephew, William "Perrine Slim" Gladden Jr. (1932-2015). Mr. Gladden wore many hats in his life: a Korean War veteran of the U.S. Navy, a walking encyclopedia of Apopka heritage, the honorary "Mayor of South Apopka," and the Gladden family historian.

All items in this collection were donated by Mr. Tarence Brown of Apopka.
