I had the priviledge of meeting "Mrs. Van" in 1966. I met her son on the surfing beach in 1966 but I didn't meet his parents down on LBI. I met them in Wyckoff - way less than a mile away. I'll never forget the first time I met Mr. and Mrs. Van at their home on Carlton Ave. I was "told" I did ok except I talked with my mouth full! I will ALWAYS CHERISH loving Mr and Mrs Van. I'll never forget the day Mr. Van asked if my Dad would be a sponsor at UMCC. I said, It's ME - what do you think?? Mrs. Van always greeted me with open arms and I will always LOVE HER!!
