After suffering a series of strokes throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, Walter B. Fraser passed from this life. He took a roadside tourist attraction with a shallow well and an orange grove and turned it into a world-class theme park that focused on historical accuracy and technological advances, rather than cartoon characters. His passion for St. Augustine was as deep and enduring as his drive to promote and stimulate the economic and political stability of the city he loved.
