To the Editor:

Attendees at the Surf City Taxpayers Association town hall meeting Saturday learned about an act of heroism that occurred in our town Friday night, Aug. 21 – and got to congratulate the heroes in person.

While walking on the beacharound 5:30 p.m. last Friday, Surf City resident and SCTA board member Jean Daniels heard faint calls for help coming from the ocean. She looked out and saw a father and four children in the distance, drifting away from shore, struggling to stay afloat.
