To the Editor:

I just want to thank the two good Samaritans who assisted my 19-year-old son Ryan last Monday evening.

Ryan and a good friend, both Long Beach Township lifeguards, were driving north through Surf City on the Boulevard in an open-air jeep. They were planning to go spear fishing near the jetty in Barnegat Light. Ryan was in the passenger seat, coiling up a rope on his left arm in preparation. They were stopped at a traffic lightwhen one end of the rope fellinto the street.
