To the Editor:

I met Tom Beaty, who is running for Long Beach Township Board of Commissioners along with Myers and Hagler, under the banner “Bringing Our Community Together” in the early ’80s. I knew him as a surfer and surf fisherman. I was transferred to Baltimore, Md., in the early ’90s but returned to Holgate in 2011 (just in time for Irene) to help take care of my dad.

When Superstorm Sandy hit, I found the Facebook page “Holgate Update.”
