    1. Re: [FLJACKSO] Fla. Boys School
    2. Dale, My family lived in North Florida, over near Jacksonville. My grandparents were in Marianna. (my parents grew up there) We spent every other christmas there for 15-20 years. There were always 2 things that I looked forward to the most... (1) at Christmas - the ride through the boys school. (2) Coming through Chattahoochee, we would ride down "thrill hill" and then I loved the sound of the Clip-Clop going across the old bridge.. that was where the"time changed" and it was sorta magical to a little girl from the sticks! Thanks for reminding me.... Dianne > > They don't do the Christmas display these days. I remember that well from > my > childhood too.
