Jeff Klinkenberg
Klinkenberg's interest in Florida began when he was a small boy growing up in Miami on the edge of the Everglades. He jokes he was a charter member of "the boys without dates'' club because of hobbies that included catching snakes. He started working at the Miami News when he was 16 and later became a journalism graduate of the University of Florida. His new book, which collects favorite columns, is Pilgrim in the Land of Alligators, published by University Press of Florida.
