 An Independence Day edition of the Florida Roundtable. Thanks for joining us here on the Florida News Network. And my friend and historian Dave Bowman joins us. We actually worked together in radio back in the early part of this century. And it's good to have Dave Bowman back with us on the Roundtable. And I wanted Dave to take a look at the formation of this country on this celebration of Independence Day. And Dave, just to set the stage a little bit, let's tell folks a little bit about Dave Bowman.
