I was in Fairbanks from 6 January 1963 to 1 June 1966!!
The highlight, of course, was the Good Friday Earthquake in March of 1964.
Were you there during those years, .45MAN?!
What MOS?

Small world indeed, angel, with our Florida connection, too.
When I was growing up, Sebastian didn't even have a stoplight!

Do you know the group of three edifices on New Haven Avenue that now is an art museum?
Of those three buildings, one held grades 1-6; one 7-12; and the third was the cafeteria, band room, and storage rooms.

It was the only school for all children from Sebastian to halfway to Cocoa, and over to the St. John's River!!
Melbourne in 1943 had only about 5,000 citizens.

.45MAN was there at that time! He talks about the earth moving in a big "ripple." Hopefully, he can take a minute out from work and answer to this!

Yes, I can picture it very well. That is really interesting to know it was once a school! Now that you mention it, the architecture kind of gives it away.

[sigh] Even though there are significantly more than 5,000 people in Melbourne, I miss that whole area.
