Moved to Pine Beach New Jersey into a home built by my father, his brothers and his uncles over about a two year period. The house was two blocks from the Toms River. The blue house on the corner. Everyone knew of it. A great place to grow up. The summers were full of excietment with a constant flow of visiters to enjoy the fishing, crabbing, swimming and watersking.
