Biographical History
Daniel Robert "Bob" Graham was the thirty-eighth Governor of Florida, serving from January 2, 1979 to January 3, 1987. Graham was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 1966 and then to the State Senate in 1970. Serving two terms as Governor, Graham dealt with the influx of Cuban and Haitian refugees, supported Florida's reintroduction of the death penalty, and introduced environmental legislation to save Florida's water resources. Graham was elected United States Senator in 1986.
Governor Bob Graham inaugurated his Oral History Program on May 20, 1980 with a dinner at the Governor's Mansion honoring the late State Senator Verle A. Pope of St. Augustine. The purpose of this event and those that would follow in succeeding years was for family, friends, and contemporaries of the honored guest to record the observations on and experiences with that person for preservation in the State Archives. Distinguished guests from Florida politics, business, or academia spoke during the dinners about the honoree, and after the dinner all of the guests recorded their reminiscences at recording stations throughout the Mansion.
