Ocean Point Column July 23


Ocean Point Column

By Maryellen Bertrand


It has been another extremely busy week of enjoyable activities here at the Point. We were all treated to an informative presentation of seal rescue last Tuesday evening thanks to John and Pat Waldman and Sue and Bob Goodrich. Both couples are involved in the seal rescue program. I highly recommend attending the August presentation, as it was both educational and enlightening.

Many thanks to the Browns, Danas and Whitehouses for a fabulous porch party held on Saturday evening, we were all treated to a wonderful surprise as Barb and Gus Newell were in attendance looking as youthful and vibrant as ever. It was so wonderful to see them, as they have not been here in awhile.

Thanks to our activity director Ginny for planning a fun scavenger hunt for our younger residents. The results of the hunt are as follows: Jefferson, Luke and Dillon Driscoll and their friend Brendan won Ist place. Second place was Kevin and Kyle Rush along with teammates Patrick Carroll, Lennon Dorris and Zach Quintero. In 3rd Place was Caroline Driscoll, and her friend Naeve and the 4th place finishers were Camden Hornor and her cousin Addy Cleary.

Jim Brown is here for the month with many family members. Son Bob and daughter in law Mary and their children are here as are Betsy (Brown) and Bruce Plummer.

Nice to see Sharon and David Pike here for a weekend visit; they hope to return later in the season. Their son Jeffrey is a police officer with the Derry N H police department and while driving home one night recently he encountered a house on fire; he quickly ran in to save an elderly gentleman in a wheelchair. You are to be commended Jeffrey for such a heroic deed!

Dianne Eakin entertained some college friends from the University of Vermont and had a wonderful time, Mary Jo Brandstatter, Linda Ball and Sally Jaynes thoroughly enjoyed a boat ttrip, a visit to the Botanical Gardens and of course eating lobster!

The Stevens Family has exciting news; Chelsea is engaged to be married to Tim Reins. Chelsea is the daughter of the late John Stevens and Jennifer Stevens of Pacific Grove California and Ocean Point and the granddaughter of the late John and Jean Stevens also of Ocean Point. Chelsea and Tim are planning a June 2016 wedding in Durango, Colorado where they currently reside.

 The Sunday ball game last week found team Bertrand defeating Team Plummer by a score of 10-9. CJ Brown was the outstanding athlete of the game, while his proud grandfather, Jim, sat on the sidelines to watch. It seems so fitting as Jim Brown taught most young people to play softball every Wednesday evening throughout the summer for many years!
