To the Editor:
My wife recently bought me a copy of Long Beach Island Chronicles. I found the book fascinating with its pictures and recollections from years past, many of which my personal experiences pre-date.
In 1950 and 1951 I worked during the summers (I was a college student) for a propane gas company with offices in Hammonton. I would usually make two trips a week to LBI to deliver tanks of propane gas to residential and commercial customers. The tanks weighed 200 pounds full, 100 pounds empty.
