IV. SUN AND/OR SAND AND/OR SURF ---SOMETIMES ALL THREE
____________________________
__________________________________________
".... By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea!
You and me, you and me, oh how happy we'll be!
When each wave comes a-rolling in
We will duck or swim,
And we'll float and fool around the water.
Over and under, and then up for air,
Pa is rich, Ma is rich, so now what do we care?
I love to be beside your side, beside the sea,
Beside the seaside, by the beautiful sea! "
[Song and full cast production number from the Spring 1968 "Newman Follies" at the Brooklyn College Newman Center]

 |
| A while ago: Michelle Hasset, Maryann Riccardi and others [It looks like the beach at Riis Park ] ____________________ |
 |
| Definitely not back in the day: Michelle Hassett Maidt Look, it's Egypt, and Giza is in the desert --- so, there must be sun & sand..... There's no surf, but two out of three ain't bad..... [besides, I just love this picture] ____________________ |

Obviously, some of our BC Newman Alums prefer to be in the water during the summer months, or when taking a warm venue vacation --- others appear to be more content just being near the water --- and still others seem happiest when they are on the water.....
Here is Dennis Cunningham enjoying some boating during the summer of 2022

| Ellen Quigley Fiasconaro on a big boat, obviously a setting sun, and a bit of sea in the distance --- there must be sand somewhere

Definitely getting a sun, sea and sand vibe from
Mary Pagano in this fairly recent pix (2017 ?).
However, do you see anybody in the shot
dressed for swimming ???

Here's something that you don't see every day....
Of course not --- it's obviously a Christmas pic.....
We think that it might be one of our Newman guys
from the late-60s and/or early 70s [ our guess is
that it's Frankie Franco] dressed up as Santa
during a very recent Christmas Past --- Hint:
that is the No. 40 steam engine on the New Hope RR.
