That’s because most school children are taught about the establishment of Jamestown in 1607 or the arrival of the pilgrims in Plymouth in 1620.

Seeing red

Moments in Space History, Space and Aviation

Ten-year-old Pat Duggin had a backyard seat for what he describes as free fireworks from Cape Canaveral.

New chapter

Bud and Kim Deffebach’s connection with Mango Manor began long before they purchased the storied Melbourne Beach home in 2004. When Harry “Bud” Deffebach was growing up just a few blocks away in Indialantic, the two-acre estate was already a local landmark. Kim, whom Bud met at the University of...
