Mike Leach sent me this book. In 1990 Mike and I took a recruiting trip for Iowa Wesleyan College, we went to Florida and got several good players including a kicker from Key West. Our first trip to Key West so we go to Captain Tony’s Saloon one night and Mike and I end up meeting Captain Tony himself. Now this is a big deal for Jimmy Buffett fans. The song “Last Mango in Paris” is about the Captain.

The book is about Key West colorful former mayor and is well worth the time and money if you are a Buffett fan, Key West tourist, Red Raider fan, pirate, old movie fan or McMurry Indian in need of a laugh. Very entertaining although the first two chapters I found tedious but probably only because I know a lot of excitement was coming. Captain Tony led a very colorful life and I recommend this book highly.

Oh yea the co-author Brad Manard is a school superintendent from Iowa.
