I lived in Orlando in ‘67/’68 and my brother was in the Navy.

I could not believe him when he called me to tell me the Navy was moving him to Orlando! NO WAY! THERE IS NOTHING HERE! Then Orlando was a sleepy central FLA town with lots of pretty lakes and NOTHING going on.

He told me the Navy was opening a new training base there, and when he came down we shared a house on Livingston Ave.

Then Disney made the huge announcement about Disney World, and the rest is history. Sweet old Orlando is long gone......

I went thru and graduated Navy Boot camp in Orlando RTC, September 1987, C-172! Fond memories!
