| Dear Marty, Once again I wish to compliment you on this FANTASTIC website. I lived in Wavecrest Gradens from 1958 to 1972 then moved to California. I recently printed out a few pages from the article on Wavecrest and sent it to my dad in Florida. He'll be 87 in March. He moved us from Kew Gardens to Far Rockaway because he always loved the beach. He called me and said thanks for the early birthday present. He took a great walk down memory lane. He really loved the it. He can't stop raving about it. I've encouraged him to get a computer so he could see it first hand and even offered to buy one for him. I just can't seem to get him to do it. He's very techie for his age so this surprises me. Oh well. I thought you would enjoy hearing a small part of what your efforts have accomplished. Your work made a very healthy and spry old guy very happy. Keep up the great work. Sincerely, P.S. I'm now 61 and still miss New York. Been here in California. for 39 years. Still not sure if it was a good move. Rockaway Memories reply dated January 23, 2012 Hi Steve, Thank you for the very kind words about the website. I was delighted to know that your dad enjoyed the pages from the Wavecrest Gardens article that you printed out for him. Maybe the fact that he continues to be so healthy and spry is that he is not sitting in front of a computer all day long. Best wishes, Marty Nislick |
