Browsing recently through an old photograph album, I came across a unique black and white photo of my father, Nick Cipollini. He is sitting on a wooden bench anchored to a boardwalk. There is a low wooden railing behind the bench and behind that, a parking lot. He is wearing a button-down, short-sleeved shirt and khaki pants. The sun is shining on the right side of his face. A lock of his thin hair is blowing in the wind as he bottle feeds a baby in his arms while smiling sweetly at a Kodak Brownie Box camera.

This old photograph connects special memories in family history, the history of LBI, and the world.
