Arnold and Newlin: St. Augustine 1971

Hazel brought our cousins Larry and Kathy (Leonard and Lucille's two younger children) to visit us in Florida. (Their older brother Walter had accompanied Laura to visit us the previous year in Europe, so now it was their turn.) Arnie took Hazel, Newlin, Larry, Kathy, Andrew, and Eric to St. Augustine to see one of the the nation's oldest cities and the Castillo de San Marcos.

At Littlewood Elementary School, it was the tradition to send the fourth graders on a field trip to St. Augustine. We all — Allan, Joel Andrew, and Eric — road the yellow Alachua County school buses with packed lunch to visit the Castillo, usually with Newlin as a chaperone
