WALDEN, J., dissents, with opinion.
In my opinion there was an ambiguity as concerns the written contract. Thus, parole testimony should have been allowed to explain the intent of the parties. I would reverse upon authority of Royal American Rlty. v. Bank of Palm Beach Tr. Co., 215 So.2d 336 (Fla. 4th DCA 1968) and Friedman v. Virginia Metal Products Corp., 56 So.2d 515 (Fla. 1952).
