This is great to see! We lived in Satellite Beach, Florida from 1969 to 1971 when I was a kid in elementary school. I attended Spressard Holland Elementary School for my kindergarten and part of my 1st grade year. But my late father was actually stationed out at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, when it was called that, and we lived in the old Patrick Air Force Base old south housing units which are now torn down and replaced with newer housing. So my dad had to commute out to the Cape from Satellite Beach to go to work. What an awesome place that was to live. We walked to the beach from our house literally! That was a summertime paradise for a kid! I miss the old housing units we lived in.
My father was stationed here from 1961- 1965.We could walk to the beach.started first grade in 1961Early years of NASA space program.We watched the rocket launches from nearby Cape Canaveral.My little brother born here in 1964.We watched the Beatles first appearance on Ed Sullivan show.President Kennedy assassination😔This was my favorite of the Air Bases where my Dad was stationed.

I know exactly what you mean! My alltime favorite military installation as well!
I dare you to find info on Patrick when it was a Naval Air Station! The ramps for the seaplanes are still at the seawall next to the galley.
