We at Saltaire38.blogspot.com are grateful to the tremendous turnout at both our Saturday Night gathering at the Village Hall and the Main Event Sunday afternoon.
The incredible spirit can maintain us for months.
All those new to our blog are welcome to send us your stories.
The Reunion shows that there is something in common between those who have been in Saltaire for decades and those who haven't been here in years: all of us have been saying for years "I should write a story about that Saltaire moment" and nobody ever writes the stories. Write one now.

SALTAIRE38.blogspot.com "In the time of your life--live." That time is short and it doesn't return again. It is slipping away while I write this and while you read it, and the monosyllable of the clock is Loss, loss, loss, unless you devote your heart to its opposition (--Tennesse Williams)

Saturday morning I woke up at 4:00 AM and thanks to a suggestion from Patsy O'Shea I woke up Rebecca and we headed for Bay Shore. Shortly after midnight I was standing on Bay Prom with Kathleen O'Shea Alexander, her husband Doug, and her lovely daughter Genevieve. The winds of Hannah were howling at 40-50 mph and the bay was beautiful.
Amazing to be in Saltaire for a tropical storm, with so many friends and personal icons and mentors!
THANK YOU JIM, CHIP, PATSY and the missing Derf. Many questions went unanswered, many connections only partially made, but the effort and the spectacular result on Sunday was just amazing. Seeing all of you again, and talking with as many as possible made the late night, the driving and the not-very-happy 12 year old all worthwhile.
Perhaps we need a forum with this blog? THANKS to the O'Shea family for taking Diane, Rebecca and I in, and to Charlie for filling up his house on Marine Walk with Pete, Steve and Liz.
Great job, marvelous experience!
