On Thursday, March 7, the Historic Hernando Preservation Society honored local historian Bob Martinez for his continued contributions to the understanding of the historical significance of Hernando County through his magazine “Old Brooksville In Photos and Stories.” He became the 10th recipient of the Lee-Ann Shoeman Award. The accolade is not given for just a single work regarding the county’s past but rather for a long-standing commitment to furthering historical education for Hernando’s posterity.
