Does anyone know of a book, etc. containing a listing of Poet Laureates of Florida? My husband's great-grandfather, Emmett G. Blair, was a song-writer and poet and was named Poet Laureate of Florida in the early 1900's. The family has many of his poems and songs but have misplaced the letter from the governor appointing him as Poet Laureate. Would appreciate any help! Gena Wright

Julie, thanks for the library site. I'll ask for the librarian help for my query.
