I was somewhat surprised to find a photograph and a paragraph on the Coconut Telegraph this fine sunny morning, both lifted from my essay on the Key West airport, with one last sentence added by the borrower. Anyone is free to copy or quote anything from this diary, it is after all on a free service on the World Wide Web, and nothing in it is published that would embarrass my late mother. However attribution used to be a journalistic rule and would be polite.
I did not write the opening entry on the Big Pine Key Coconut Telegraph on August 13th 2008, nor do I necessarily disagree with it.
Thank You.
