I used to hang on Stephan Ave! What year(s) were you "growing up" there? Walter Rockhill, Brian Patterson, Lee Truskin. Any of these names ring a bell? They all lived on Stephan. We had our own little street-gang (not hard-asses, just wise-asses). Great memories.

Toms River was a nice place to be a kid in the 60's & 70's (pop. 60k when I left in '80). Riding dirtbikes, racing around in boats and building hot rods in the garage with Springsteen on the radio...

"Nice place to be from", as I tell everyone.

Danny O,
It's a small world. Brian Patterson's family rented my parents house. My sister and brother knew him well. I've known Walter for years-he recently got married, had a baby (I'm not sure which was first the wedding or baby) and bought a house on Aldo.
My father got transferred to Albany, but I use to spend the summer with my grandparents on Stephan-next door to the Patersons. You would probably know my grandfather-all the kids knew him as 'Howie", he was very popular with the neighborhood kids. Did you know the Wingenders, or my brother/sister Debbie & Kevin?
I ended up buying a house on Stephan 9 years ago. Where did you live?

Lucky,
I didnt understand your response-was that your dads boat?

Re: Floating Report Heading to Jersey
 

Bob G,
Yes, it was my Dad's boat.

Bob G,
