[QUOTE="donna723, post: 444407, member: 1883"] DDD, I remember those too. We lived in Orlando from about '58 to '83 and a lot of people had them. We always figured that Orlando really WAS a prime target with two military bases and another one right down the road in Sanford, and the Martin Marietta plant was there too! Must not have been easy to dig fallout shelters in that area because if you dig down a few feet, you hit water! And I remember sitting in a high school classroom, right in the most intense part of the Cuban Missle crisis. Everybody was pretty nervous anyway, we're sitting there in psychology class, and all of a sudden the loud sirens started going off, the ones the town used as a tornado warning system! Scared us all half to death! Even the teacher was shook up, even though he tried to stay calm, and we kids were all ready go crawl under the desk like they taught us to do back in elementary school! We just sat there and sat there and nothing ever happened so when the bell rang we changed classes and just went on about our business. I think a lot of people in our generation ended up getting a lot of therapy! [/QUOTE]
