            Jimmy’s Note:

            “I have loved many lands…and loved them well,
            Changing, chameleon fashion, to the spell
            Of each land’s colors; rhythming my heart
            To each land’s song; striving to be a part.”

            – From the poem “To Florida” from the book, “Floridays” by Don Blanding
