If you love the tropical places of Florida and Hawaii, you should check out Don Blanding.
If you have ever worn tropical print clothing or enjoyed fruity tropical drinks, you need to check out Don Blanding.
Don Blanding described himself as follows:
Artist by Nature
Actor by instinct
Poet by Accident
Vagabond by Choice.
And no, that awful road through Duval and Clay county Florida is not named for him.
He was a solder, along with all other categories he put himself into. He claimed to have invented the Hawaiian shirt that so many of us love, and created a wonderful history of our tropical places before they were filled with strip malls and chain restaurants.
Do yourself a favor google Don Blanding and check out this great American.
