“As we spend this Christmas season with our loved ones, we can celebrate the wonders of life, as seen in the miraculous birth of our Lord. This is a time when we enjoy the blessings of friends and family as we look back upon the previous year and prepare for the year ahead." Gov Crist
Our Governor's Christmas card for 2008 was designed by James Gibson, an original Highwayman. I met him at our local art gallery, Art Link International, just a few weeks ago while he was there over one weekend with MaryAnn Carroll, the only woman Highwayman. The gallery was celebrating their works as well as Ms. Carroll’s birthday.
Twenty-two of his paintings already hang in the Governor’s Mansion. This Christmas card went all over the world, depicting a palm tree on the bank of the Indian River. Everyone should try and own a little piece of Florida history if you can.
