re: #162 whitebeach

My dad was stationed at Eglin for a time during WWII and loved the area. That’s why we went to either Ft. Walton Beach or, way more often, just east of Destin every summer we could afford it. I first saw Destin when I was six years old and it was a one-boat fishing village. Why the hell dad didn’t buy us a place and just move there I’ll never understand. We all loved it.

Maybe he was worried about hurricanes!
