243 - Carol Shaughnessy This is an interview recorded in 2008 with writer and publicist Carol Shaughnessy, whose work has covered many facets of the tourism and entertainment world. Carol Shaughnessy has spent almost her entire life in Key West, Florida; a place she speaks of with warm reverence. Her life in the Keys has allowed her to meet many fascinating people, including the legendary Phil Clark, a man she loved and in his later years was engaged to. Phil Clark was the subject of what is perhaps one of Jimmy Buffett's most loved classic songs, "A Pirate Looks at Forty." Shaughnessy went on to work for Jimmy Buffett as the head of his mail-order business and fan-relations person, answering all correspondence from fans, and, for the first three years of its existence, was the first editor of Jimmy Buffett's successful Coconut Telegraph publication. Carol Shaughnessy has chosen the adventurous route in life, whether serving as a former director of Key West's Hemingway Days festivals, writing and recording the stories of so many fascinating residents of the Conch Republic or her current role as a publicist. In this interview you will hear the story of Carol Shaughnessy, a woman with a Key West heart. She explains what she calls "the Margaritaville Mystique" as well as the Magic of Key West in what we feel is a truly beautiful story of someone who can truly say "I Have Found Me a Home."

#243 - Carol Shaughnessy

On his last day in Key West, Florida in August, Dennis visits the home of local writer and publicist Carol Shaughnessy to hear her recall the extraordinary tale of legendary local treasure hunter Mel Fisher and his 16-year quest to find sunken Spanish treasure off the coast of Key West. Carol talks about her personal connection to the story, the everyday artifact they found that captured her imagination, what happened after the big discovery, the resulting Supreme Court case and how the story exemplifies the independent spirit of Key West. Carol also talks about how she ended up moving to Key West from Minnesota (it involves a pink taxi), the day it rained emeralds and the way the people of Key West support each other in the pursuit of their dreams. Other topics include: the giant sea-to-sea rainbow flag that traversed the island in 2003, her favorite bad movie, her hidden talent and her hardcore "Murder She Wrote" habit. www.fla-keys.com
