around you for awhile? There is
10 place more beautiful than
light here on the little old
Rock, and you'd better believe II!
Key West and l. have been hav-
ng a love affair since l947, and
hope We celebrate our 50th An
together. The skies are
bluer, the grass green
er, the sand whittier and the
flowers just more of whatever
color they happen to be than
any other place. So now let's

Greek mythology that when
Venus was a young thing and
Persephone chased the bees in
