Florida

In 1956 we moved to Coco Beach in Florida as our dad got a better job. We lived at the beach for a little bit. That was lots of fun because we could go swimming every day. Then we moved to Melbourn. Bruce was a senior in High School and I was in my 2nd year Dale was in grade school. Dale made lots of friends of his own by this time. We lived there for about a year and dad's job was gone and we moved to Auberndale next to a lake. Bruce went off to college and only came home once in a while. He now lived with Joyce. Dale loved that because he would go out on the lake in a boat and fish with dad. I went with them one time but got sick and fed the fish according to dad. We played lots of yard games next to the lake. Then the next year we moved to Orlando. While living in this house Joyce and Sherry came to visit us one Easter and Ma bought Dale and Sherry chicks. Well Sherry's truned out to be a mallard duck and we kept it as a pet until we moved again. I was now a senior in High School and not home much. Dale was very busy with other kids in the neighborhood. Then Disney came along and bought our house for Disney world so we moved to the north end of town and Dale became friends with a boy down the street that was the nephew of a man on a tv show called Our Miss Brooks. He was so excited when he found out who he was friends with. After I graduated from High School we had to move again as dad had gotten another job in Calif. So back we went. What a trip with all 5 of us a dog and cat. The car developed a problem in Ariz. I think. But we did get to Calif. and lived in a motel for 2 weeks.
