We were anticipating the College\u2019s 60th Anniversary and looking for a way to celebrate this milestone with some kind of historical review. I had been collecting Eckerd stories through interviews with faculty and alums for years,\u201d Kadel Taras said. \u201cI chose stories based on one criterion: Is this a good story? I looked for a mix of funny, poignant, inspiring and \u2018classic Eckerd\u2019 stories. It\u2019s not at all a comprehensive history, but a series of snapshots that reveal much about Eckerd\u2019s values and priorities, culture and mythology, characters and community, and impact on individuals and society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kadel Taras also authored <em>On Solid Rock<\/em>, a retelling of the founding story of FPC\/Eckerd, which details the early years of the institution when her grandfather <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eckerd.edu\/about\/mission\/\">William H. Kadel served as the school\u2019s first president<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tombolo Books, an independent bookstore in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandcentraldistrict.org\/\">St. Petersburg\u2019s Grand Central District<\/a> that opened in 2019, began selling Swimming Lessons in its charming shop and online in January.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur decision to carry the collection <em>Swimming Lessons<\/em> was based on Eckerd College&#8217;s well-earned reputation for raising the profile of our region&#8217;s literary community and developing talented writers across all academic disciplines,\u201d said Alsace Walentine, Tombolo\u2019s co-owner. \u201cWe have experienced this firsthand at Tombolo Books through one of our own staff members, a graduate of Eckerd\u2019s <a href=\"\/creative-writing\/\">Creative Writing program<\/a> who matches a passion for storytelling with incisive thoughtful critique. <em>Swimming Lessons<\/em> delivers on both the regional pride we value and the editorial quality we expect from anything coming out of Eckerd College.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kadel Taras said reading <em>Swimming Lessons<\/em> is an important part of the Eckerd experience for all those interested in the school. She explained, \u201cOral histories of an institution allow us to capture the stories we tell ourselves about who we are, why we\u2019re here and why our work matters. As each new student, parent, faculty or staff person, volunteer, or donor begins to engage with Eckerd College, we want them to find their place in that story, to recognize themselves in some part of the whole, so that they will be touched by the experience and leave their mark on the College.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;6728&#8243; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; img_link_large=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;16&#8243;][vc_column_text]<em>The book cover of the second volume of Eckerd College history<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":6734,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[205],"tags":[460,461],"class_list":{"0":"post-6726","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-about-eckerd","8":"tag-stephanie-kadel-taras","9":"tag-swimming-lessons"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) -
