Coquina Key, that's a name from the past. I grew up near Bartlett Park and played Little League there. I had few friends on CK. Unfortunately when I started at St. Petersburg High, after my first year they opened Lakewood High and most of those friends went away, never to be seen again. We had a hurricane in the early 60's, it was Donna and we had a tree fall against the front of our house and I remember the power was off for 3 days. That's the only time we remember getting hit. I had many more problems in the six years I lived in Pensacola and the eight years I lived in Savannah.
