Capt. Perry Donaldson Wise and family Date: 12/06/2007 I was excited to come across the MFD website while looking for some historical information on my old high school in Miami (Miami Senior High). I noticed that you had a memorial page and recognized two names: Jack Beach and Elmer Wentworth. I used to date Mr. Wentworth’s daughter back in High School, and my parents were very good friends with the Beach’s before my father passed away on Dec. 1954 at age 29. He was a Fire Captain (Perry Donaldson Wise) and according to the Miami News clipping, that I will send you when I unpack it, he was the youngest Lieutenant to be promoted to Captain in the history of the department. I had just turned five when he passed, so I don’t remember a lot about him. I have a few pictures of him that I am forwarding to you. My mom, who passed away in 1997, told me years ago that he took me just about everywhere he went. The family picture is at the old station on 27th Ave. between Flagler and 7th St.

My hope is to get Dad’s name on the Memorial section of you web site. Thanks for your consideration.
