A product of the Great Depression who majored in pre-law at New York 9s Fordham University, Egan devoted his successful 64-year career to the expansion of export markets for fresh Florida citrus and pioneered the development of new markets in Europe and the Far East. Egan 9s roots in produce sales come from his father, who was president of a New York produce sales and distribution company called Egan, Fickett & Co., and a Florida fresh citrus packing company.<br><br> After his father died in 1937, Egan left his job with the Refrigerated Steamship Line, a subsidiary of the United Fruit Co., and joined his brothers in the family business. Business trips to Florida led to the decision in 1968 to move the company to Vero Beach to be closer to the supply of fresh citrus and subsequently resulted in the acquisition of more than 6,000 acres of citrus groves along Florida 9s east coast. Since 1968, Egan concentrated his efforts on building the family-owned company 9s reputation as a premier supplier of the highest- quality fresh Indian River citrus.<br><br> Egan is CEO of Bernard Egan & Co., an agribusiness corporation with 12 divisions that is now headquartered in Fort Pierce. One of these divisions, DNE Sales Inc., founded by Egan in 1968, is the largest marketing agent of fresh Florida citrus in the state with sales in more than 14 European countries and five countries in the Far East. As a pioneer in fresh citrus exports, Egan broke new ground.<br><br> His efforts have been recognized locally and nationally. In 1979 he received the prestigious Presidential cE d Award for Export Excel- lence. In 1988, Bernard Egan & Co.<br><br> was a cSpecial Honoree d in the Florida Department of Commerce 9s Industry Appreciation Progr am. The Florida Citrus Packers Association gave him its John T. Leslie Award of Excellence in Marketing in 1990.<br><br> Shortly thereafter, he receiv ed the President 9s cE Star d Award for Excellence in Exporting given for outstanding contributions to the increase of U.S. trade abroad. In addition to his numerous corporate enterprises, Egan wears hats as a citrus grower with more than 10,000 acres and as a partner in Fellsmere Farms, a ci trus and cattle agribusiness.<br><br> Egan was appointed by the Governor as a member of the Florida Citrus Commission from 1987 to 1990, has served on the board of d irectors for the Indian River Citrus League since 1976, and was chairman of the IRCL Board from 1987 to 1989 and its president from 1989-1991. He has been involved in many produce industry organizations, including the Produce Marketing Association and the United Fresh Fruit & Veget able Association. Active in his community, Egan is a sustaining sponsor of the United Way in St.<br><br> Lucie and Indian River counties and is a foundin g co-chair of the Samaritan Center, a shelter for the homeless in Vero Beach. He and his wife, Elizabeth, live in Vero Beach. They have 10 childr en.<br><br> Jacksonville nurseryman Carl B. Loop Jr. grew up around his uncle 9s small ornamental nursery in the 1930s, an experience that sparked his interest in agriculture and led the soft-spoken diplomat on a decades-long journey to become Florida 9s agricultural ambassador as president of Florida Farm Bureau.<br><br> Born March 10, 1928, in Jackson- ville, Loop enjoyed spending time at his uncle 9s nursery. His interest in the vocation helped him decide to pursue a horticulture degree when he enrolled at the University of Florida in 1946. His love of his country convinced him to join the Florida National Guard that same year.<br><br> He earned his bachelor 9s degree in three years at UF, and his second- lieutenant 9s bars in nine years with the National Guard. He started Loop 9s Nursery and Greenhouses with a borrowed truck and a $1,500 loan after he graduated from college in 1949. His nursery, which grows flowering potted plants and tropical foliage, is now one of the largest wholesale nurseries in the Southeast.<br><br> It spans nearly 50 acres in two locations in Duval and St. Johns counties, and to florists and garden centers around the Southeast. But it is Loop 9s service to Farm Bureau and its members for which he is most widely known.<br><br> He began his affiliation with the organization the way all Farm Bureau leaders do: as president of a county Farm Bureau. His presidency of Duval County Farm Bureau in the early 1970s led to his elections as a Florida Farm Bureau director in 1972, vice president in 1982, and president in 1983. Members have re-elected him to eight, two-year terms since.<br><br> Florida Farm Bureau faced difficult financial times when Loop took over in the early 1980s. With the insurance side of Farm Bureau 9s business struggling, Loop had the tough task of strengthening its bottom line and reassuring its membership ba se. He handled the situation deftly, fostering an atmosphere of cooperation among commodity groups around the state.<br><br> He is credited with more tha n doubling Florida Farm Bureau 9s membership, which now exceeds143,000, and re-establishing it as the pre-eminent general agriculture organization in Florida and in the United States. American Farm Bureau elected him to its board of directors in 1986, a position he still holds. He became v ice president in 1995, but stepped down last year.<br><br> He continues to serve as president of Southern Farm Bureau Life Insurance Co. and Florida Farm Bur eau Insurance Group. Global free trade talks have taken center stage during Loop 9s tenure at Florida Farm Bureau.<br><br> Presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush each appointed him to advisory panels with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S.<br><br> Trade Representative 9 s Office. He currently serves as a member of the joint USDA/USTR Agricultural Policy Advisory Committee. He has appeared many times before Congressional committees and regulatory agencies on behalf of Florida farmers, growers and ranchers.<br><br> He has helped shape legislation that re duced the estate tax, improved the availability of health care, addressed ergonomics issues, and debated the importance of the use of methyl bromide, among other issues. In addition, he has served as a member of the search committees that selected three vice presidents of the University of Florid a 9s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. Loop also helped found the Florida Nurserymen and Growers Association and the Florida Foliage Associati on, which have since merged.<br><br> Loop received the University of Florida 9s Award of Distinction in 1999, Progressive Farmer 9s Florida Farmer of t he Year in 1999, and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services 9 External Distinguished Service Award in 1990. He is past president of the Jacksonville Baptist Home for Children, and past deacon of the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville. He and his wife, Ruth, live in Jackson ville where they enjoy their three children and five grandchildren.<br><br> Carl B.

Born March 22, 1907, in DeFuniak Springs, Graves quickly became familiar with the three sawmills owned by his father and uncle in North Florida.<br><br> When the family bought 32,000 acres in 1919 in what was then Brevard County, but is now Indian River County, Graves watched as they branched into vegetable and eventually citrus farming. After graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in accounting and economics in 1929, he went to work for Graves Brothers Co. as a bookkeeper.<br><br> The Great Depression hit shortly thereafter, forcing him to add distributor for Sinclair Oil Co. to his responsibilities to help make ends meet. When World War II curbed the oil business, Graves worked at the U.S.<br><br> Naval Air Base in Vero Beach and volunteered for the Coast Guard Auxiliary. He returned full time to Graves Brothers Co. in 1946 after buying out the interests of the Walter Graves family.<br><br> Graves 9 involvement in the citrus industry stemmed from one overriding belief: Growers should have control of their destinies. His industry involvement began with a stint as president of the Plymouth Citrus Products Cooperative in 1950, and vice president of the citrus section of the Florida State Horticultural Society in 1953. Graves moved on to the Florida Citrus Commission from there, even- tually serving as chairman for two years during his tenure from 1955 to 1959.<br><br> He then went to Florida Citrus Mutual, serving a s a director during the 1960s and taking over as president in 1976. In addition, he served as director and eventually chairman of Farm Credit Banks of Columbia during the 1960s and early 1970s. He also served on the boards of directors of Florida Citrus Packers, and Florida Citrus Canners, now ca lled Florida Citrus Processors.<br><br> In his spare time, Graves helped organize Citrus Central in 1963, and served as its president and chairman from 19 64 to 1985. Graves also had a strong interest in research as a way to better the citrus industry, and supported endowments and scholarships at the Univ ersity of Florida 9s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and Florida Southern College. His interest in all aspects of the citrus industry m ade him an authoritative source for state and federal lawmakers.<br><br> Several Florida agriculture commissioners and U.S. agriculture secretaries recognized Graves for his contribu- tions over the years. He received the Florida citrus industry 9s highest honor in 1972 when he was inducted into the Florida Ci trus Hall of Fame.<br><br> Graves and his wife, Addie, lived in Vero Beach and enjoyed their two children and five grandchildren until she passed away Jan . 8, 1993, and he passed away May 15, 1999. George F.<br><br> Sorn was born October 11, 1927, in Bridgeton, New Jersey. Following graduation from Bridgeton High School, he attended Rutgers University, where he received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture, with honors. As a young man, Sorn learned first hand about the fruit and vegetable industry while working in the fields of New Jersey harvesting a variety of commodities.<br><br> While in school during the 1940s and early 1950s, he worked for Seabrook Fanning Corporation in New Jersey in a variety of capacities, particularly in labor related jobs. In 1953, his labor expertise landed him a temporary job with the Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association that ended up becoming a full-time job as assistant manager of FFVA 9s Labor Division. He was promoted to manager of the Labor Division in 1967, and became well known throughout Florida and the United States as one of the foremost authorities on farm labor in the country.<br><br> It was during that time that Sorn began his longtime affiliation with the late Wendall Rollason and the Redlands Christian Migrant Association. During his 30-year affiliation with RCMA on the board and for the past 12 years as its President, Sorn worked diligently to provide day care services and educational opportunities for children of migrant farm workers. Sorn was named executive vice president and general manager of FFVA in 1984, and a period of steady growth in association membership and services began.<br><br> In 1985, Sorn created FFVA 9s Environmental and Pest Management Division, the first of its kind in the country to assist the association 9s members in effectively dealing with crop protection and water issues. He served on numer- ous national committees and organizations, including the United Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Association 9s Government Relations Comm ittee and its U.S./Mexico Task Force. He also served on the Executive Committees of the National Environmental Development Association and t he National Council of Agricultural Employers.<br><br> He was a board member of the Florida Agricultural Tax Council and the Agribusiness Institut e of Florida. He was appointed by the President to serve on the National Commission on Agricultural Workers, and by the Governor to serve on the Flo rida Advisory Council on Farmworker Affairs. During his tenure as FFVA 9s chief executive, he led the fight for Florida growers on critical i ssues such as immigration reform, the North American Free Trade Agreement, and maintaining access to crop protection tools.<br><br> Sorn is particularly well kn own for his negoti- ating skills. Whether it was during negotiations for contracts on behalf of U.S. Employers of West Indies Workers or on contro versial issues such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, Sorn sought common ground and win-win solutions for all parties.<br><br> Sorn also consistently w on high praise from numerous state and federal legislators and government officials for his straightforward and credible approach to governmen t relations. Sorn retired from FFVA in December 1992 after a highly successful, 40-year career. Among his numerous awards and honors are: the F FVA Distinguished Service Award; a Resolution of Appreciation by the Florida Cabinet for cExemplary Public Service in the Field of Agriculture; d an Award of Merit for cDistinguished Service to the Food and Agricultural Industry of Florida d from the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences a t the University of Florida; an Award of Appreciation from the Redlands Christian Migrant Association; and a Certificate of Appreciation from the F lorida Governor 9s Advisory Council on Farmworker Affairs.<br><br> Sorn and his wife, Joyce, live in Orlando. They have one daughter, Valerie Sorn. Sor n is active in his community and is an honorary life member of the Optimist Club of Orlando, Inc., and one of its past presidents.<br><br> George F.
