Oh my, just had a flashback from my early days in St. Augustine. San Marco Drive In and Russell’s. Early 60′s was the time I spent there and so enjoyed all the local color. Of course we still go back to see how it has grown, but nothing can replace those early memories. Thanks for keeping them alive.

What a lovely story about your dad! It’s so amazing to piece together our parent’s lives…to retrace the paths they’ve followed. I’m so glad you’ve got such a knowledgeable and talented uncle to help you along the way! Thanks for sharing your story.

Love your website with the old pictures. I also remember Pappy’s restaurant. They were know for their fried shrimp amd big quart glasses of tea.
I also saw the one of the Matanzas Theater. I use to go there growing up. I think it cost % cents to get in for kids. Distant drums had a local kid in the movie playing an Indian. I think it was Sidney Capo. Not sure of the first name but is was definately Capo.
I’m following you on twitter. Thanks!
