ROBERT N. MACOMBER - THE ASSASSIN'S HONOR - IN 1892, Saturday, October 10, 2015 - 8:00pm. Commander Peter Wake has left the world of espionage behind and
is back in the sea-going navy. But duty has called him from his new Spanish lover back to Key West to investigate an assassination and prevent
another one―all of which leads him to old German foes in Mexico as well as Spanish ones in Cuba and Tampa. The life of the great patriot of
Cuba, José Martí, is at stake. About the Author: Robert N. Macomber is an award-winning and internationally acclaimed author, lecturer, and TV
commentator. His Honor Series of naval novels cover the career of a fictional American naval officer, Peter Wake, which starts in 1863, during the
Civil War. From 1882 to the end of his career in 1908, Wake serves in America’s first espionage agency, the Office of Naval Intelligence. Mr.
Macomber’s novels illuminate the U.S. Navy’s critical role in the expansion of America from a continental country into a global power.
ROBERT IS HERE - CESAR BECERRA - Sunday, October 11, 2015 - 6:00pm, Robert’s story Is (finally) Here. Nearing Sixty years in business on the same corner since six,
Robert Moehling and his family teamed up with South Florida Historian Cesar A. Becerra to write definitive history 387 page book on iconic fruit
stand of South Dade. It is virtually impossible to get Robert Moehling to slow down. As we approach 60 years from the moment he was plopped
on the corner of a South Dade farm field to sell his family’s excess cucumbers back in November of 1959, the now 62 year old Moehling has
decided it is time to take a little break. “I realize I have told my story more than a million times, but in a condensed version,” begins Robert who
has made a life out of a spur-of the moment decision his parents made the day after nobody stopped to buy those now famous cucumbers.
“Everybody knows the initial story of my dad taking a storm shutter and spray painting in cursive Robert Is Here, but that’s just the beginning of
my story. In the last few years I have had time to reflect the fact that there are many others key moments in my history that I have yet to tell to
the people who have supported us and stopped by.” For the last year and a half, Robert, the Moehling family, friends, employees and customers
have sat down and divulged the stories of this business, which is more than just your typical fruit stand, with Historian Cesar A. Becerra. The 387
page book is entitled, “Robert Is Here: Looking East for a Lifetime.” “As a South Florida Institution, Robert Moehling’s fruit stand (Robert Is Here),
literally stands alone on so many levels,” explains Becerra who recorded and siphoned 200 hours of interviews and many never-before-seen-
photos for his book which will debut on October 11, 2015 at Books and Books of Coral Gables at 6:30 p.m. “As I learned more about the stand I
realized this is the story of a family that has dedicated their lives to the love of tropical fruit.” Indeed the Moehlings now numbering fifteen
(Robert, his wife Tracey, four kids, three spouses and six grand-children) and are all involved in some aspect of the bursting-bursting-at-the-seams
fruit stand soon to be undergoing an expansion. Moehling has been a fixture in South Dade’s agricultural landscape for decades and has now
reached a level of recognition where tourists and followers will come to the fruit stand situated on ten acres just to visit Robert and the
phenomena that is the Robert Is Here experience. “It began with Robert and the novelty that a six year old was going to educate you, inform you,
entertain you and then sell you fruit like you’ve never seen before,” explains Becerra who has written several books on South Dade institutions
“Then the stand was elevated by the folks going to and from Everglades National Park. But really, any well positioned business would have
survived a few years on drive by customers, but they now come because his family stand for quality and for a genuine presence and experience
that is missing in our modern high paced lives.” Becerra has attempted to not only cover the linear history of the fruit stand but the deeper
lessons Robert has learned and readers can derive from years of survival that includes hurricanes, life wallops and changing pressures that will
come in the future as development brings people to a corner that was for years surrounded strictly by farm fields. The book will then have its
debut at Robert Is Here (19200 SW 344 Street, Homestead) on November 14, 2015 when Robert, will take the day “off” to sign books and meet
with his fans. “It will be interesting to see if he can pull it off” explains his wife Tracey, “as long as I have known Robert, he has never taken a
break at his stand for more than 5 minutes!”
