Great photos, bring back lots of memories for me. I was born in Miami in 56, went to SW Miami High school and I also worked for Eastern Airlines from 81 until they shut down. Did alot of computer work at the Airport for them, maybe we ran into each other at some time. Great photos. charles_martin@embarqmail.com

What a walk down memory lane. I went to DuPuis Elementary, Palm Springs Junior and Hialeah High (graduated 1968). Also worked for Eastern Airlines until they went under,,,,so a lot of your photos are right out of my memories. Thanks.
