Dave : We’ve been looking forward to another guest column from Mel Kelly. She usually has a local theme to her excellent musings. We realize you are hampered by the ownership wishes, but we rarely read the columnists now published, especially the politically-based ones available on- and off-line. More local/Florida subjects please.
