They had color photos when you were 11? View attachment 2312642

Just kidding. Guessing we're pretty close in age.:)
Yes, it was 1961. Recently converted mom's slides to digital. Trip to Key West, 1 roll 12 exposures. Couldn't they at least splurge on 2 or more rolls! I know it was 1961 on Islamorada Key as years later parents related were upset with the rowdy guest at the motel partying all night and speaking in Spanish. Turns out it was a staging area and they were partying before the Bay of Pigs invasion.

Wow! Been stationed all over FL, from Pensacola, to Orlando, to Key West Boca Chica. I liked Pensacola very much. The Blue Angels were stationed on the same base where I was going to my first Naval Photography school in 1978. Parents lived in Avon Park, and now Sebring.

All the family photos I have from the early 60's are a mixed bag between b&w and color. Everything from the mid 60's on are all color. Thankfully dad had a few cameras and was a photography enthusiast. My son will never run out of family photos to enjoy, add to, and hopefully pass on to the next generation of Bond's.

Sounds like you were Navy. I was Air Force and kept trying to PCS to Florida where from and where mine and spouses family lived, but to no avail. As a disabled vet, now able to go on base and kills me at both Patrick and McDill, across the street from Exchange/Commisary is the Medical Command where I should have been stationed.

Thank you both for your service.
Side bar, my father passed away, his funeral was Nov-10th, he enlisted in the Army 1957 and served at Huntsville Alabama on the missiles and Mercury / Jupiter engines as electrical engineer. He even got to push the “start” button for testing then firing.
After the catholic funeral service 2 army servicemen performed the most moving service I’ve had the privilege to witness. That’s my 17 year old red head son, he’s going into the marines in 2024.
