I lived on the left side
Upon accepting the job in Melbourne Florida, I had a small
problem, where was I to live? As it turned out, my friend Robin
was from Indialantic and her Mother who still lived there was a realtor,
so Robin's mother found me a place in Indialantic, just across the Indian
River from Melbourne that was one block from A1A which runs right along
the beach.
Once again, I found myself living in a duplex. There five or six identical
ones on the street with the owner/landlord living in the one next to
me. Indialantic is a narrow strip of land with the Atlantic on
one side and the Indian River on the other, I could walk to the beach
in less than a minute and see a sunrise and ride my bike in the other
direction and see the sunset over the Indian River. The
office I initially worked at was mile down the road on A1A. Later
when I started working at Harris, I had to drive across the causeway
over the Indian River each day which is a most beautiful drive.
One sad thing about my stay there was
I lost my cat Kathleen which I had brought with me from Gainesville.
It was in Indialantic at Pete’s, a dinner at the end of the main
street that I last saw Robin. I was having lunch when a noisy
group came in and got seated when I hear, "Larry!", I turned around
and it was Robin. Robin, with her husband Kevin and their new
baby were home visiting their families, they all came to lunch at Pete's.
We talked briefly for a few moments and she went back to her table and
I to mine.
