Ocean's 11? No, Ocean's 3.

After leaving the miserable loss at the football game, we headed "down the shore" (Ocean City, New Jersey.) You can't lose down the shore. See, 60 years ago William E. Mansfield married Virginia Maguire here. From that union came seven children, one of whom is William D. Mansfield (uh, me.) Then, 30 years ago, Susan Rampenthal was asked to be the wife of William D. Where? Down the shore (see picture below.)

Spent the afternoon looking for a New Jersey girl for Colin. No luck. Nobody could understand what they were saying (ey, 'ow u doin? hows 'bout u 'n me g' dwn to my uncle Tony's place?)

Dennis' grandfather, Colin's great-grandfather, lived here in the 40's. Bill Mansfield was married here in '47. The house below is a house of legacy. Virginia Maguire Mansfield's family continues to visit Ocean City, NJ.

And for fun, we threw in a few more West Point photos! (click 'em to enlarge)

Dennis, Colin, and Bill.

 

P.S. Thought the below sign was funny!
