New Jersey

I don't know if he'll go back next year. They have a new house and a boat on an inlet off of Barnegat Bay. He goes fishing and bird photographing almost every day.

Side story... He was 19 or so, on the bench. My step-daughter was a pre-teen and she and her girl friends hung around his bench. He was "hot" and not from the Sun. He was polite to them but they were not of a comparable age.

Fast forward - (For you millennial, that's a term from when we old folks had Vhs or Beta video tape recorders) - about 10 years. She graduates college and returns to the beach with a couple of her friends. He is still on the lifeguard bench. This time, her attention is returned.

22 years and two kids later.....
