My sister Maureen asked me to dig through my photo albums for pictures of my brother, Tommy, who died on Christmas Day. She and her tech-savvy son Sean are putting together a video presentation for a reception following a Paddle-Out on Saturday, April 4, at Hartford Avenue approach in Daytona Beach. We're looking for a good time in the a.m., when the tide is low and we can park on the beach (very few parking spaces on the approach). Surfers of all ages are invited. You don’t have to claim membership in the Hartford Heavies. No membership existed. No member ID cards. No dues. No boring meetings dictated by Roberts Rules of Order. Only requirement was to rise early after a night of questionable activities. Grab your board and get to the beach to ride waves fresh to Daytona from the vast ocean. Never been ridden before. Yours.
Any photos of Hartford Ave Days you’d like to share? Let me know in the comments.

Coach Osteen: "Sadly we lost another member of our Undefeated Seabreeze Jr Surf Team of 1975-76, Tommy Shay. Heck of a surfer and grew up to be a good man. RIP Tommy" (second from right). |
