PHPA Founder Remembered
With great sadness, the
officers of PHPA wish to
recognize the passing of one
of our founding members,
Russ Sneddon. Russ was a
leader in historic
preservation in Northwest
Florida. For many years Russ
worked as the Director and
Curator of the Air Force
Armament Museum at Eglin
AFB. Russ also served as a
board member for the Baker‐
Block Museum and was
instrumental in bringing
historic, heritage, and
preservation organizations
together to create a group
that would later become
PHPA.
“I credit him for pulling us
all together at the beginning.
I would not have known
about what came to be PHPA
if he hadn’t mailed me an
invitation to the first
meeting” said Diane Merkel,
Walton County Heritage
Museum and web master for
PHPA.
Here is one of the eulogies
delivered at Russ’ funeral:
