Harvey<\/strong> \u201912 has donated a special edition copy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.observernews.net\/2014\/05\/21\/the-legacy-of-frederick-b-karl-celebrating-the-publication-of-python-tales-world-war-ii-memories-of-a-young-soldier\/\"><em>Python Tales<\/em><\/a>, a memoir written by former Florida Supreme Court Justice <strong>Fred Karl<\/strong> \u201949, to the <a href=\"https:\/\/supremecourt.flcourts.gov\/Library-Archives\/Archives\">Florida Supreme Court archives<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harvey hopes the gesture will raise awareness of Karl, a man who embodied the spirit of service, ethical governance, and passion for helping others in a time in the profession of law where role models for lawyers are as important as ever. He also hopes that it might inspire others to contribute to a scholarship created in Karl\u2019s honor for Veterans attending Stetson Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book chronicles Karl\u2019s time serving overseas in World War II, after which he returned to the U.S. a decorated veteran bound for Stetson Law and, after that, incredible success in his field. Published just after Karl\u2019s death in 2013, the book\u2019s proceeds benefit Stetson\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stetson.edu\/law\/veterans\/endowed-scholarships-for-students.php\">Frederick B. Karl Veterans Scholarship<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne of Fred\u2019s final wishes was for the proceeds of this book to continue to support the Fred Karl Veterans Scholarship, and it is one of my life\u2019s missions to see that others can benefit from the lessons I was fortunate enough to learn from such a hero first hand,\u201d Harvey wrote in the book\u2019s afterward.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The donation serves to bolster an effort by Florida Supreme Court Justice Jamie Grosshans to promote civics education at the Supreme Court building. This includes new and accessible information about the history of the Supreme Court, the judiciary\u2019s role as one of three branches of government, and the court\u2019s landmark decisions. Grosshans has also worked to improve the display of artifacts and materials within the Supreme Court building as well as those on display at the Florida Supreme Court Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harvey said he hopes Karl&#8217;s legacy inspires legal professionals during their most trying times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile the scholarship might help students get through law school, the legacy of Fred Karl may help lawyers get through difficult times in their practice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Inspiration for veterans returning home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fred Karl\u2019s life is a testament to dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment to public service, including fellow veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harvey, a veteran who is now chief executive officer of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalaccessforall.org\/\">Community Legal Services<\/a> in Orlando, learned of Karl as a student at Stetson Law during a seminar on professionalism for which Karl was the namesake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAfter hearing about this fellow veteran and his reputation for honesty, integrity, and service to the community, I remember feeling an overwhelming level of inspiration and comfort that someone who has taken the very path I am on was able to be so successful and stay true to the values ingrained in us through military service,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inspired by his story, he wrote a letter to Karl, asking if they could meet. Karl responded, and the two met for breakfast or lunch multiple times over the ensuing semesters. \u201cDuring our visits he would mentor me about life as an attorney and a public servant,\u201d Harvey continued. \u201cMost of all he taught me that it is possible to be an attorney and a public servant and not only maintain honor, integrity and ethics, but that you can be known and sought after for those qualities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An early call to serve<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fred-Karl-Military.jpg\" alt=\"A young man in a World War II-era military uniform.\" class=\"wp-image-33263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fred-Karl-Military.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fred-Karl-Military-336x500.jpg 336w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Former Florida Supreme Court Justice Fred Karl &#8217;49 during his military service<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born in Daytona Beach in 1924, Karl spent most of his childhood on Florida\u2019s east coast. A good student and popular among his peers, he was voted \u201cMost Personable\u201d by his senior class at Seabreeze High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Karl was moved to join the Army in 1942 at 18. Commissioned as an officer, he led a tank platoon in the European campaign during World War II. Despite being severely injured, Karl\u2019s strong will saw him through. His bravery in the Battle of the Bulge earned him the Bronze Star, Silver Star, and Purple Heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon returning home, he pursued a bachelor\u2019s at the University of Florida and a law degree from Stetson. He graduated from Stetson Law in 1949.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A commitment to community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After practicing for several years, Karl went into politics in 1956 when he was elected to the Florida House of Representatives. Known for his devotion to fairness and high ethical standards, he earned the nickname \u201cconscience of the House.\u201d He was then elected to the State Senate and the Florida Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1988, Karl accepted an offer from the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners to become the county\u2019s lead attorney and was appointed as the county\u2019s chief executive officer within two years. As County Administrator, Karl was known to be decisive and get things done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He established a healthcare program for low-income residents, promoted diversity in county government, and led efforts to consolidate county offices into a centralized location in downtown Tampa. The building was later named the Frederick Karl County Center in his honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Seizing on Tampa\u2019s potential<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karl&#8217;s impact extended to healthcare as well. As chair of the board of Tampa General Hospital, he helped transform it into one of the best hospitals in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also played a pivotal role in bringing the New York Yankees&#8217; Spring Training Complex to Tampa and laid the groundwork for what is now Amalie Arena. His efforts were recognized with the Tampa Bay Sports Commission&#8217;s Tom McEwan Distinguished Community Advocate Award in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"703\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fred-Karl-Alumni-Luncheon-1969-qith-Harris-Drew-Class-of-2023-1024x703.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fred-Karl-Alumni-Luncheon-1969-qith-Harris-Drew-Class-of-2023-1024x703.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fred-Karl-Alumni-Luncheon-1969-qith-Harris-Drew-Class-of-2023-500x343.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fred-Karl-Alumni-Luncheon-1969-qith-Harris-Drew-Class-of-2023-768x527.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fred-Karl-Alumni-Luncheon-1969-qith-Harris-Drew-Class-of-2023-1536x1054.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fred-Karl-Alumni-Luncheon-1969-qith-Harris-Drew-Class-of-2023.jpg 1880w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alumni and former Florida Supreme Court Justices Harris Drew &#8217;32 (left) and Fred Karl &#8217;49 attend an alumni luncheon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite numerous retirements, Karl&#8217;s dedication to public service never waned.
