To the Editor:

Saturday, July 14, I took my 11-year-old grandson to the 17thStreet beach for a swim and some beach time. Our family has been enjoying the same beach since the early 1960s.

John wanted to surf so I went back to the house and picked up the board and returned to the beach. When I got there he was not at the spot where I left him even though his towel and T-shirt were still by the umbrella.
