To the Editor:

Fifteen summers ago, through the leadership of Robert Burnaford, now the Harvey Cedars police chief, Zeke Hill and Mike Weiler, the Harvey Cedars Lifeguard in Training program was started. The program has thrived ever since, serving hundreds of Cedars children.

In the age of video games, cell phones and sport specialization, I find it refreshing (reassuring) that a program like this is thriving.
