Mark was like many of the Jones Beach Bums, a
credit to Human Kind, he made his mark, and left
a ever lasting Flame. I will miss my friend, and
will remember the Human.

Went to see Joe Satriani in concert tonight here
in Westbury. Got backstage after the show and
it was really great to see him again! I gave him
everyone's heartfelt greetings.

| My name is Nan Grodin - from
Seaford. What a wonderful surprise to find this
website. Arlene Shaprio (where are you Arlene?)
from Wantagh was one of my closest friends. Mike
Westman - I am going to upload a picture of us from
my high school prom as soon as I can figure out
how to do it. I have a movie of most of us from
the summer of 1971 on the beach. It was on a super
8 reel (took dad's camera without telling him) until
I had it transferred to a dvd a few months ago.
A little grainy and of course no sound, but still
watchable. Remember that game we played on the beach
- sitting in a circle - girl in front of guy or
vice versa? That's in the movie. My kids (24 and
21) laughed so hard when they saw it. I'll upload
it. Many thanks for all the hard work that has gone
into building and maintaining this website. Although
I was profoundly saddened when I read the Memorials,
the pictures and messages reminded me of how much
fun it was to be a teenager hanging out on Jones
Beach in the early 70's. (Mike, btw-lawyer, not
doctor-lol)

In '76 I worked for the beach
in an office at the mall. Would go out to the boardwalk
during lunch and there was confrontation between
the state police and the teens trying to play winky
dink one day. As a result I got sent to some bosses
office to explain why I was there talking to people
I knew from the beach who were getting in trouble
with the cops. Had to explain that growing up in
Seaford i knew everyone who hung out at the beach,that
it was a way of life.
I had forgotten about getting in trouble at my new
beach job until just today thinking about what happened
to Winky Dink. It was attracting a whole crowd of
onlookers so they kept making the game move further
and further away from the mall.

My oldest friends, who will readily admit to
being a bunch of bums, will understand why I spent
my first day of my "new life" digging
holes and filling them with roses. And it felt
damned good.

was hysterical seeing all our friends playing
Winky Dink. Those were the days. Thank you so
