Marineland of Florida--A look back 1966





Apparently you had to be at least a Commander in rank, in order to do the live training show's at Marineland, while Seamen were relegated to just feeding the Dolphins as we see below. I that a correct assumption, Jim? I wonder what became of the cinder block backdrop, with the dolphin's in them? I would sure loved to have had a pair of them to use as bookends in my zoo/aquarium history room.

I think at one time they were considering selling some as historical mementos. I think they even had a stash of unused blocks. I'd take a couple myself.

Jim,
How about your white bucks and aqua blue sport coat? If nobody has put in a request yet, I would like to be considered as the honored recipient.
