My father worked all week repairing luggage and selling luggage so that my mother and sister could spend a month each summer at the Jersey Shore. Bradley Beach was the spot.

This is a true story which spanned a period from an estimate of a total of 12 years. After watching, the family Sunday Night, Mutual of Omaha show, "Wild Kingdom".

At age 16 or thereabouts, I would go to the Adventure Car Hop on Route 22 in Union, New Jersey. A "car hop", in those days, wasn't just for eating, but for finding ladies. Pretty ones, hopefully!
