To the Editor:
It is amazing how something so small to one person is so large to another.
I was raised on LBI, by my grandparents. They lived on Delaware Avenue in Beach Haven Terrace, year ’round. I was with them from 1949 to 1964.
Dec. 9 was my 38th wedding anniversary. A few weeks before, my wife asked where I was taking her on our anniversary. I gave her a choice of restaurants. She said, “Why don’t you take me to that island you were born on and show me where you were raised?” I said, “Why not?” and got on the computer and booked a couple days at Engleside Inn.
