With the price of gasoline at $4 a gallon, when a
dollar cannot buy a euro, and when the air travel industry
(both at the airport as well as on the plane) treat
passengers worse than cattle at a chute going to the
slaughterhouse, Betty and Cornell Dowlin of Moorestown and
Ocean City decided to have different travel plans this year.
They traveled to the far end of Tennessee Avenue to the boat
ramp in Ocean City. They observed the Great Egg Harbor Bay
and the B.L. England generating plant in the distance. Now
for those of you who are “chronologically gifted” like this
octogenarian (that is old), you may remember Sen. Claghorn
on the old Fred Allen pre-television radio show who said:
“That is a joke, son.” And so it is. This is a joke, son. |

In the ‘city of dreaming spires’ This picture was taken in March at Oxford University in Oxford, England. Anthony Breder of Egg Harbor City visited his granddaughter Emily Sullivan of Medford Lakes, a student at the university. Isabel Barbetto of Egg Harbor City spent 10 days with her family in Malvern, England, which is in the heart of Shakespeare country. The college’s many-spired buildings inspired a poet to call Oxford City the “city of dreaming spires.” |
