Simple, that is, until he starts hearing a voice in this head. The voice introduces himself as Alan Lottner, former real estate agent. Ruddy isn’t sure if Alan is real or if he’s losing his mind. To complicate matters, it turns out Katie, the girl he is falling for, is Katie Lottner—Alan’s daughter.

But it’s hard to avoid the voice in his head, and soon Ruddy is trying to figure out what happened to Alan and hoping to avoid the same fate. With a sweet romance, a suspenseful plot, colorful characters, and a hero you can’t help but fall in love with, W.

    Spring Break: Image, Identity, and Consumer Culture in a Florida Rite of Passage by Meeghan Kane A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Liberal Arts Department of Humanities College of Arts and Sciences University of South Florida, St. Petersburg Major Professor: Raymond Arsenault, Ph.D. Gary Mormino, Ph.D. James Kessenides, Ph.D. Date of Approval: July 19, 2006 Keywords: college students, campus culture, riots, youth culture, tourism © Copyright 2006, Meeghan Ellen Kane Acknowledgments Without the Florida Studies Program, spring break would still be just a nuisance to me – a time when the highways are busier and the beaches are impenetrable. But the program’s directors, Raymond Arsenault and Gary Mormino, not only encouraged a serious study of popular culture in Florida, they pointed me towards a social phenomenon that reaches far beyond the beaches of Fort Lauderdale and Daytona Beach. For their advice, inspiration, and friendship, I can’t thank them enough. My fellow students and friends of the program, particularly Monica Rowland, Albert Vogt, Lucy Jones, and Nevin Sitler, have consistently amazed me with their innovative takes on Florida history, and they, too, have inspired and helped me through some rough spots. Greta Sheid-Wells was a shining beacon of information and good friend throughout the research and writing process. I am also indebted to the Florida Studies Center at the University of South Florida. As their Patrick Riordan Fellow, I had access to a rich and diverse collection dedicated to Florida history. Both the Hampton Dunn Collection and the T.
