Slim, Perrine

Perrine Slim, Apopka nurtured, attended his first eight years of formal education at the Clarcona Colored School. He then attended Hungerford High School, a private school for people of color, in completion of his twelve years of education. Slim is a Korean War veteran of the U.S. Navy on the USS General Mann TAP112. He proudly served from 1951-1954 above the 38th Parallel. Work took Perrine Slim from Apopka, to New York, to Miami. His heart has always been in citrus production. Francina Boykin, assisted Annie Belle Gilliam, copywriter, curator of museum Phyllis M Olmstead, EdD, editor, cover
