My wife went to college there, it's a beautiful and very historic city. You'll enjoy it.

Great little city, i spent a few years there back in the 70's when my parents ran a farm on the southwest corner of Fla16 and I-95,its all shopping center now but i remember lot of fun times on the beaches and some of the great little bars downtown,and fun runs down A1A to Daytona Beach.

Flagler College? I wanted to go there, but it had a reputation as a party/surfer school and I didn't need any more distractions...

We might be down that way around Thanksgiving, my mom still lives in Jax and we are planning to go out and visit her for the holiday. We always take a trip to St A when we're in town.

Unfortunately, it won't be in the Yaris (we're flying)...

Cheers! M2

Yep, she graduated there in 1990, I believe. It was a much smaller school back then, and she had a full scholarship, so it was a no-brainer for her.

1990? Did ya marry a young 'un there, Gene? Or maybe it's the beard and hat; but I figured you to be closer to my age (46).

We use to cruise through Flagler College on occasion in the late 70s/early 80s; it is a beautiful school with a cool history behind it. and I wasn't aware that it had gotten larger.

The humidity, bugs and hurricanes kept me from ever moving back to Florida, but I do miss it. I have a lot of friends from high school who still live in the area, but we only get back every couple of years.

Cheers! M2

Close, I'll be 42 this year, wife is about 2 years younger.

I just got an early start honing my "grumpy old bastard" skills... and going gray... and losing my hair...

What were we talking about again?

Dunno, already forgot. One of the good things about getting older is that you forget things quickly!

Now, where'd I park the Yaris?!?
