To the Editor:

Am I lucky or what? To still be here on beautiful LBI in the autumn sunshine and warm waves. To see great photos by Jack Reynolds on the covers of The SandPaper. To keep my social calendar up to date all season with info on activities like the upcoming Chowderfest.

I’m also lucky to volunteer setting up an art show to raise money to restore the old Fisherman’s Cottage for Beach Haven’s Historical Museum (show closes on the 30th). I’m lucky to meet such great people through my painting.

Yup! I’m more than lucky – I’m blessed and thankful. You are also if you’re here on LBI this fall.
