Tod Plummer and wife, Ruth, took to the air for a glimpse of the sunny South and visited Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and other places. Tod says: "The four-hour trip south seemed unbelievable, the transition from snow and gray skies to sunshine and balmy temperature in so short a time. The surf bathing in the clear blue water was marvelous."
