Pete and Mac Martin Remember Ben Hill Griffin III
Welcome to The Florida Folk Show podcast. In this episode, through the words and recollections of Arcadia realtor and land manager Gordon “Mac” Martin, we celebrate the life and times of a man known far and wide as The Citrus King. We are talking about none other than the legendary Ben Hill Griffin III of Frostproof, who died July 25, 2020 at the age of 78. Early in his own career, Mac worked very closely with The Citrus King, and shares with us some precious memories of one of Florida’s greatest citizens. In addition to his own career in Florida land, Mac is also one of Florida Folk Music’s best singer-songwriters. He has promised to write a song about Ben Hill Griffin III and when it is ready, we’ll add it to this podcast.
