Mount Dora 1969 recollections of growth and loss
A retrospective look at Mount Dora in 1969 recalls rapid growth with about 300 new families and many children, several notable deaths, destruction of the Villa Dora Hotel, new city facilities, housing, and parks, plus local sports and school events. It notes mayoral re-elections, new council members, VISTA departures, and community projects that shaped the year.
