After Rosh asked a question about my dad, I bethought me of this newspaper article which is about him, and specifically addresses the question of whether he grew up by the sea. So, I've posted it, and here is where you'll find it:

What a really nice profile of your dad! Interesting that their home ended up being where the memorable "Islander Hotel" used to be. Is that were you grew up?

Partly, yes … I became a water person in New Jersey, and never really stopped … I'm most comfortable near water.
