To the Editor:

Maria Scandale wrote a great story last week about the history of The Dutchman’s and the reconstruction. I want to add that the extraordinarily complicated bulkheading is being done by a third-generation bulkheader, Paul Buterick, and a second-generation one, Jason Marti. Their grandfather and father both were mayors, in Beach Haven and Harvey Cedars. A vivid feature of the first Dutchman’s, in the 1950s, was the bar shaped like the prow of a boat. I remember it well.
