      You're welcome. It took me about 3 months to put the first 20 minutes together

      WJCT tried to give credit to one of their producers. during the NPR radio interview, before the premier they had him on the air and said it was his video. I was the one who shot all of the video and edited the entire thing together. He used my video to edit together the first minute and created the opening graphic for it.

    Half of my home was moved to its present day Silver Lake location after the war. The Base Post Office was moved to the lot next door. I just re-sheathed the roof and could barely get nails through the old growth pine timbers. My dad left Jacksonville in January 1944 to attend Great Lakes boot camp and served on the USS John Rodgers (DD-574) for the duration of the war. I follow local history intently and am fascinated by our region's role.

    My FIL went through Basic there in 1943. I was in the Navy (stationed at NAS Jacksonville.) This would have been in 1984 or '85. We had to transport some material out there one afternoon. I think the place had been deactivated then. I didn't see anything at all going on. Now it looks really busy.
