I was touched by this memory from Elaine Hay of her family’s visits to Ocean City over the generations:
My grandchildren are my family’s fifth generation to vacation there! During happy 1970s college summers, I was a waitress at Del’s, still thriving on the fun-filled boardwalk. Later, as a 1989 mom, my family received prizes after I won a writing contest, and we were named the resort’s “First Family” that year.
A sad memory — also while in OCNJ but decades later — was the realization that my 30-year marriage had to end. But since, I’ve created new, wonderful memories! A surreal one was a 2017 stay at the Impala, demolished weeks later and rebuilt. I was randomly given, from hundreds of possibilities, the exact — and virtually unchanged since the 1960s — room where I’d stayed with my parents when I was 14. During that vacation, I poured a bottle of peroxide over my hair.
