Henry and Mom at the
edge of the natural bulkhead at the beach. This spot was to eventually
wind up in the ocean, because every storm took it's piece of the 10 foot
dirt wall. In his wisdom, my grandfather built the bungalow
(3 bedroom, livingroom, large kitchen, porch) as far from the ocean as
he could. All the other neighbors built close to the water, and they
soon found the foundations being threatened. When we finally lost
the property (early 1970s) due to a supposed expressway(?) along the shore,
we were the only ones that did not have a man made bulkhead to support
the house.
The highway was never built. |
