To the Editor:

We just returned from another relaxing and wonderful time on Long Beach Island, one of my favorite places to be. Two experiences last week served to emphasize how special a place the Island is.

On Saturday, July 4, my friend dropped her cell phone in a storm drain across the street from Scojo’s. A man passing by stopped to brainstorm with us on how to retrieve the phone, and looked in his car for a useful tool. Scojo’s lent a pair of tongs to grasp the phone, although they were too short.
