      It has to be at least late 63. The announcer at some point mentioned "Cape Kennedy", LBJ changed the name from Cape Canaveral that year. Mid 60's is about right.

    40 years old today! I do have to question why in the world this Metro didn't go to the Miami Airport from the very beginning in 1984. If it was properties in the way then why didn't that extension get built after Andrew hit in 1992? It took Miami 28 years to finally wise up.

    I lived through Hurricane Andrew in Kendall. We huddled in a hallway with a mattress covering the opening. My dad used to say it sounded like 100 gorillas trying to break in. My dad realized in the peak of the storm that the back door opened inward, and was a weak point. He and my mom left me and my younger brother in the hallway while they went and jammed a couch between the door and the wall, and returned to huddle in the hallway, with a mattress laid down, a radio, snacks, and the nearby bathtub full of water. When we emerged in the morning everything was covered in a bright green film. Our chainlink fence, I remember, was bright green, it ground leaves up into a pulp. Things I didn't recognize as ours, all over our lawn. Our toolshed, gone, the only thing left was the foundation. A nearby culdesac had it worse, several of those homes had their furniture sucked out of the house and tossed into a lake behind their properties. It was surreal. The howling was constant and at its peak it did feel quite frightening, you felt the whole house shaking under strain. I remember coming back to school, I was in 4th grade at Kendale Lakes, and a girl in my class had her mother pass away. They were in a trailer in Homestead. I remember being horrified at the aerial footage of homestead. My grandmother ended up with a peacock in her yard from the Zoo.

    Nobody talks about the Cubans who were also in the Peruvian Embassy in Havana 1980 and who left Cuba with flights to Costa Rica. By the way, I was a lucky one able to get in one of the few flights that Fidel Castro allowed and because he wasn't getting a good press, he then created the Mariel boatlift to send bad Cubans to Miami, and thus he created a different view for the Cuban people who were actually at the embassy.

    I grew up on GB radio- he would come on at 5:30 am with his Lone ranger theme song, which was better than any alarm clock. Had a radio in every room tuned to 106 fm. Then in the car on the way to work- couldn't have made it w/o him, Mr friendly, Don Agony, and all his circus crew- It was pure radio talent, not to mention "palmetto bug horror stories" from his female listeners (true stories} that only Floridians would know. Thanks for the mems- break a leg, Greg!
