The Florida Classic Park in Brooksville was established to insure a dog show site through the generosity of Sam Lawrence . He was always the first person to step up to the plate when I needed any financial help to successfully put on a dog event. As a Dog Judge he always made it entertaining for the exhibitor and spectator.. I was told a long time ago that he was a self made man coming up the hard way.........I also was told the the movie " PARRISH " starring Troy Donahue was based on his life ........I believe he was the founder of Dollar Car Rental .I rest assurred that you all will correct me if wrong ........... they don't make them like Sam anymore !!
