[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 741066, member: 13556"] It is a small world. Were you stationed at NAS Jax of Cecil Field? Other than that, what took you to the area? My parents had a chunk of land way out, but sold it years ago. (Before they asked me if I wanted it, which I did.) I was born in Jax and lived there with my parents and grandparents until I was nearly six years old. I remember Mandarin very well, for there was a grand scale train that ran on the weekends; on some Sundays, after church and dinner, my parents would take me to visit and ride on the train. It was a very big deal the first time they ever let me ride it all by myself. My parents met in Green Cove Springs when they attended Clay High School. A few years ago, I visited Jax for the first time in over 15 years, and told my cousin that it hadn't changed since the last time I'd been there. She thought that I was crazy until I told her that it really hadn't changed, because every road in town was under construction like they had been the last time I was there. ;) WM [/QUOTE]
