The peak of the space boom in the area.
I'd say I was part of the second wave of surfers on the coast, Hell we would wave to each other on the road and give a sign as to the conditions behind us, and try to get together to surf together, for the company. Worked as a lifeguard in Satellite Bch. for a few years. Good times! Still say yaall sometimes.

Small world. I was born in Melbourne in 1962. My parents met at Melbourne HS. Both of my grandfathers worked at Patrick AFB during the space boom. Mom's parents moved to Satellite Beach (Norwood Ave.) in 1958. Dad's family had moved to Eau Gallie in the early 50's.
In keeping with the thread subject, my parents first car was a mid 50's Buick Special!
