OT: 12th Anniversary of Superstorm Sandy

A friend of mine in Ortley had 7' of water on the first floor. So with the foundation included that water was roughly 9' deep.

My house was 5.5' above sea level. I had 5' in the 1st floor.
There was a house on Ocean Avenue in Spring Lake, south end, that kept the mark for a few years on how high it got.

Same for the Shrimp Box in Point Pleasant Beach. Pretty sure it’s still there.

Reading the Ledger in the 70s and 80s

I used to save the end of season All-State teams and highlight those that were going to Rutgers in football. I didn't do that with the basketball and baseball All-State teams because I knew we weren't getting any of them.
The Parade All-American issue was also a keeper.
yeah those all state and all group and all county teams for all high school sports was another highlight along with the final top 20 football poll

everyone knows how much a fan my mom was, well as she got in her later years and didnt get out of the house much and to find some purpose, she would literally cut out every and i mean EVERY single Rutgers story in the Star Ledger and Courier News and paper clip them and then everytime I went over there she would have give them to me, sometimes a whole bags worth...I still have some of them kept in a box.
