…………………For many years Jac and I rented a beach front house on Fire Island…..For those of you who are unfamiliar with Fire Island it is an island that runs parallel to Long Island. It is considered a “barrier beach”, and protects the coast of Long Island from more damage than it already gets during storms and hurricanes….Fire Island is extremely long….32 miles, and at some points quite narrow. There are many different communities along the island that are separated by dunes and even natural forests, where people have homes. The beaches are some of the BEST IN THE WORLD….beautiful fine sand and the Atlantic Ocean…….Jac and I were sun worshipers!…..Our favorite vacations were lying on a beach in the Caribbean….Jac usually under an umbrella!…jac was always protective of her skin and wore tons of sun block, but I was the teenage who mixed iodine with baby oil and slathered it on…..I guess her delicate Belgium skin was a lot different than my Italian hide!……..Those were the days!…………The marvelous DAYS OF SUMMER!!!
Louis, I love this picture of you and Jac. You were a beautiful couple.
