Susan, what beach on LI?

I don't know for sure, Carol, because the picture was taken before I was born. But when I was growing up we spent our summers on Noyack Bay, so I'm thinking this is probably in the vicinity......or maybe the Shinnecock or Peconic areas. I haven't been back in decades, but I'll always have wonderful memories. As a child, and even a teenager, so many fascinating discoveries to be made at the shoreline!
