Ron Hayes’ well-researched article about South Florida author Theodore Pratt, in the September issue of The Coastal Star, was certainly a worthwhile read. When the paper wrote about the Barefoot Mailman last year, I purchased a used copy of Mr. Pratt’s book by the same name and enjoyed the fictitious adventure along the coast from Lake Worth to Miami thoroughly. I have now added the other two books in the so-called “trilogy” and it is fun to read about “Old Florida” in the South Florida landscape, as we know it today. Your readers should know that while Mr. Pratt’s books are out of print, many of them are available through amazon.com, used and inexpensive. Thank you, Ron, and thank you, Coastal Star, for your always entertaining and informative features. Paul Ruopp —Briny Breezes
