Ned Lee Leaving the BoG

[Luis R. Ramos]

Alaric-

When most some people use the term "apologist," it is usually in a negative term. In line with "mouthpiece," "hack." In other words, someone that has sold his soul to the company or point of view. It may not have been what you meant but that is probably what dwb perceived thought.

If you would have intended it in a negative way, I am sure you would not have ended it as "Kudos to you." [Edited for minor editorial changes and one addition]

In all fairness, it is a term I have used to describe myself when explaining unpopular positions here.  I certainly took no offense.

And, yes, as a former Disneyland employee, I am fond of the place.  It holds countless special memories for me.  And these days, it holds a fair amount of my money, too.

It was Nineteen Seventy- something and I had just graduated from U.S. Navy boot camp in Orlando Florida, and the culmination was a trip to Disney World. What do they do now - tour the Chicago stock yards? Oh well, all things change, so long Ned, fair winds and following seas.

CAPAPRN...DFid you know that Orlando Naval Training Center  used to be Orlando Air Force Base? And in the 70's it was still Florida Wing CAP Headquarters before it moved to McCoy AFB. When USAF closed Oralando AFB and the Navy took over, two USAF units remained on the base. One was CAP-USAF Liaison Office and Headquarters FLWG, and theother was a USAF Research Unit (don't remember it's name)

NTC Orlando (Orlando AFB 1947-1967) was in Winter Park, and its Army-era airstrip is now Orlando Executive Airport. The CAP-USAF Florida offices are indeed in a VA building on that site, after having left NTC Orlando for McCoy in 1971. NTC Orlando had an annex on what was McCoy AFB (now you know where the MCO identifier for Orlando International comes from).
