Key West Florida is an island in the Straits of Florida on the North American continent at the southernmost tip of the Florida Keys.

In Pre-Columbian times Key West was inhabited by the Calusa people. The first European to visit was Juan Ponce de León in 1521. As Florida became a Spanish colony, a fishing and salvage village with a small garrison was established here.

During World War 2 my mother, a Navy WAVE, was stationed here at The Naval Air Station, while my father was stationed at NAS Pensacola.
