WINTER PARK, Fla. - Ima Black was able to fulfill a lifelong wish with the help of the United States Navy. The 100-year-old World War II veteran, and resident at The Mayflower at Winter Park, was treated to a ride in a Navy helicopter.
Black only has to ask the U.S. Navy for something and her wish is granted. She has a wonderful working relationship with the Navy because of her service and that of her late husband, Delbert D Black.
She joined the Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Services (WAVES) in the first year that this Navy branch was established. The female members were accorded a status comparable to that of male members of the reserve, unlike the Women s Army Corps (WAC) unit in the Army. Ima remained a member until the close of the war.

But that night, Luthmann decided to watch
Get Me Roger Stone, a documentary about the infamous strategist whose career Donald Trump had revived. Luthmann chose the film not only because he was friends with one of its producers, local political activist Frank Morano, but also because Luthmann considered himself something of a dirty trickster.
