"Lifeguard for Life"

The following information is included to share with you some of the events that have and are still shaping my life. Please visit the links as you see fit starting with the North Wildwood Beach Patrol. This is an organization that has greatly influenced my life since 1957 as a mascot and then from 1965-1995 as a lifeguard.
