Description

Letter written by Jimmy Buffett to Floy Thompson alongside an image of Buffett standing in front of a charcoal portrait of Thompson. The letter reads, 'Dearest Floy, Once many years ago a young man went looking for his dreams in the Florida Keys. Well wouldn't you know it, he found them. Some say he had a lucky guardian angel or a very wise fairy godmother. They were right. Thanks for being such a great ferry [sic] godmother for all the years. I will see you this winter.'
