Instructor Richard A. Weinstein will give a talk on Prohibition in Florida on Wednesday, February 17 at the South Walton Coastal Branch Library. 
 
Weinstein will lecture on Prohibition in Florida: The Noble Experiment. With a 1000 mile coastline, close proximity to Nassau and the Grand Bahamas, the Florida rum runners of the 1920’s had a turbulent, highly profitable period of successfully avoiding the best efforts of the under-manned spare maritime resources of the United States Coast Guard.

As a retired high school Social Studies teacher, Richard has worked as an adjunct instructor at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida, The University of South Alabama in Mobile Alabama, and Northwest Florida State College, here in South Walton.

A retired First Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, Richard has also taught at the Marine Corps Educational Development Command and Marine Corps University where he wrote one of the current titles: “Readings in Military History” for the Staff NCO Academy professional reading list.
