Oh and Pops raced there....
Yep. And after the short season at Orange Park all the loving dog owners would take thier greyhounds down to Bayard.
I was actually in the first class from Orange Park that didn't get to use the Orange Park Kennel Club for graduation. The previous class apparantly brought too many tennis balls to the ceremony. If you are sincere then you will also remember that the Windrifter was just across the street.
Ah yes, the Windrifter. The Best Western hotel bar where older ladies fulfilled thier Top Gun fantasies with pilots that flew the P-3. Let's just say that I received a first class education at the Windrifter. After all, there weren't enough pilots to go around and the ladies proved that being a pilot wasn't the prmary qualification.
