Linda Oatman High
Linda Oatman High has never scattered ashes on a nude beach,
however she dreams quite often of forgetting to get dressed.
An author of 14 books for children (see www.lindaoatmanhigh.com),
she's recently completed a collection of short stories - Tightrope
Rainbow - in which "Uncle Chick's Last Wish" is included.
She lives to read, write, eat chocolate, and play bass guitar
in a basement band.

UNCLE CHICK'S LAST WISH
Uncle Chick's last wish was to have his ashes scattered
across the Naked Mermaid, a nude beach deep in the Florida
Keys. And so here I am, squeezed into the plush blood-red
seat 7-B of Flight 1403: Washington, D.C. to Key West.
An expensive ticket, more than I can afford, but Aunt
Alice whipped out her glitter-spangled credit card and
. . . swoop! Next thing I know, I'm zooming through
the wild blue in a shiny silver jet. Abracadabra magic,
as Uncle Chick used to call his slick card tricks. >>>
