"The motorcade was halted on North Mills Street, Orlando – at the causeway across Lake Estelle. The President, at 11:05 a.m., alighted from his car and was greeted by Mrs. Charles O. Andrews (widow of the former United States Senator) and Mr. Charles O. Andrews, Jr. Mr. Andrews presented to the President approximately fifty guests who had been invited to witness the ceremony to be held at the causeway. Mayor Beardall extended to the President the official greetings of his city. The President responded and, with a pair of scissors handed to him, cut the ribbon symbolizing the dedication of the causeway as the “Charles O. Andrews Causeway” honoring the memory of Senator Andrews. The President paid special tribute to Senator Andrews, referring to him as a great public servant and fine gentleman."
