My Mother & Father had more $$$ than they knew what to do with...
Me & Michael enjoyed tubing on the Deck! We were on the Tube because the Deck was covered
with splinters!
The next summer Timmy came along & that was it
for the summer Beach House rental...
Well, Hurricane Able also swept the Beach House into the Atlantic in 1950!
Next thing ya know, Hurricane Eddie showed up & that was it for the
Beach Rentals, the Tubing & the EZ, Rich Lifestyle...

Dad and Mother did rent a shore house a few years later... but Gerry was not there.
Fake News Tapper!! When I arrived I astutely observed that Michael had a shred of musical talent. Upon Eddie’s unexpected arrival I advised Mother and Dad that it would behoove them to add Eddie to the music lessons as it was apparent he lacked our athletic abilities and perhaps he could scratch out a meager living singing songs for drunken relatives the rest of his life. Thus the family fortune was divested in Julluard and the Curtis Institute negating our summer compound plans.
How about the Warrington pools picnic? Michael runs thru the required showers and jumps in the pool. "You, kid. are banished for one hour". Michael waits an hour, returns and runs thru the shower and jumps in the pool. Whistle blow, "You, you're banished for an hour". Michael returns, a third time,gleefully, runs thru the shower and jumps in the pool. again, whistle, same punishment. Dad visits the lifeguard to inquire as to the criminality of his son. Turns out, the rule is, No Running thru the shower or, on deck of the pool. a very short day of swimming, but, he was very clean.
