It is addressed to Don Colee Sr. of West Palm Beach, Florida. Mr Colee Sr. was a career communicator and "idea man." His first job was in broadcasting, starting in radio in his hometown of St. Augustine, Florida while in high school. At the age of only 17, Donn was enlisted by the U.S. Navy because of his broadcasting talent. He served in the United States Navy Intelligence in World War II, CIN PAC, stationed at NAS Honolulu, Hawaii. His career continued in Orlando, where he built and managed the first ABC television station in Florida, which led him to the boardroom of Metro Media, now Fox Network, and positions in New York City and Washington D.C. Returning to his native state of Florida in the early 1960's, he bought and operated a radio station in West Palm Beach before building Colee & Co., the area's largest advertising and public relations firm.
