Thanks Mark, You are SOOOO right. Seems my memory left out part of the details. Actually at one time, during a period of divorce, I rented a hovel in what was then called "Drew Park"..It was converted from Drew Field after the war. WHAT was I thinking? MacDill was the SAC base, right? I don't remember the field at Thonotosassa, nor the one at Busch Gardens. Thanks again.
