It’s morning exercises at Miami Beach for these Army/Air Force trainees during World War II.
Here’s another photo saluting Memorial Day and our military service personnel: Here is reaction at the Key West port on V.J. Day in 1945 on the USS submarine Seadragon.
Sorry to write that we’ve just learned of the death of a friend of Swampy’s, Elaine Sevin. Fellow Florida native, Elaine has been creating coloring and educational books about Florida’s water issues for more than 25 years. She worked very hard at getting the message out and, as ones who worked with her, greatly admire all she did.
Here’s her obituary at the Miami Herald:

Swampy’s Postcard Thursday: El Rancho Hotel Court, Tampa, 1960s.

The El Rancho Hotel Court is still there at 7100 Nebraska Avenue in Tampa. Very unfortunately, the sign is gone. The card isn’t postmarked, but judging by the cars in the back of the motel, I’d say this is sometime in the ’60s.
