A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Beach: True Tall Tales of Zany Animals and Crazy People Making Mayhem in the Mangroves of Florida

For almost a decade the author ferried thousands of people to and from the parking lot to Clam Pass Beach in Naples Florida. The vehicle known locally as a Tram is a seven passenger stretch golf cart limo. There are more than 60 of them in service in the Pelican Bay area of Naples. The 3/4 mile long trip takes place on an elevated boardwalk through a pristine saltwater estuary that hosts a goodly amount of flora and fauna. The former consists of primarily red, white and black mangrove trees. But the fauna. Oh, the fauna. Someone should write a funny book about the fauna and the people. Wait, this is it. Zany animals and crazy people making mayhem in the mangroves of Florida.

The author served as Executive Director of both the Canadian and American Booksellers Associations from 1979 until 1997. He has lived in Naples Florida since 2004.
