Synopsis

A wild and true account of what it was like growing up in Cocoa Beach on the Space Coast of Florida in the 1960's. The author recalls the adventures of a group of young surfers from Cocoa Beach and beyond, including Hawaii and Peru. This relatively remote and secluded beach town radically changed seemingly overnight when the space program began at Cape Canaveral and the new residents arrived in ever increasing numbers, which created an entirely different atmosphere and landscape. It was indeed a wonderful time to have experienced, all the way from the first rocket launch with Alan Shepard―the first man in space, to Neil Armstrong walking on the lunar surface. We were the children of the space age and our parents were the scientists and engineers that changed the course of history. What I have attempted to achieve with this story is to share with you some of the things that happened during these years including some that are a bit on the humorous side, some of a historical nature and yet others with dramatically tragic endings. I have not included all of the accounts of the many things which could have been portrayed within. However, I hope you can capture perhaps even a slight glimpse of what it may have been like growing up here, and with that said let me share with you what I saw Standing On The Front Porch. ―Greg Thomas
