In 2008 I wrote a few stories that were published in The SandPaper. The stories recounted the adventures of our “new” cat, Orange Tang Lorenzi, and readers often asked me when I was going to write another. His previous owner, Michael Lorenzi, a much-loved teacher at Southern Regional and a business owner on LBI, had passed away in July of that year, leaving Tang to be adopted. We were lucky enough to spend the next 11 years watching him thrive on North Union Street in Manahawkin.
