There’s a boy reading under the tree at the Bradley Beach Library. Sept. 2013 Paul Goldfinger photo. Nancy named it first.
FRANK SINATRA, JR. from his latest album: That Face. The song “You’ll Never Know” was written by Harry Warren and Mack Gordon. In 1943 it was featured in the movie “Hello, Frisco, Hello” and it won the Oscar for best song that year out of 9 nominees. Frank Sinatra, Jr. recorded it in 2006.
Frank, Jr is now 69 years old. He is divorced and has one son, Michael who lives in Japan. He appeared in the Great Auditorium last summer with a 20 piece big band. The show was very good.
JW I guess it was my “natural prejudice” to assume it was a boy. I should have said that it was a “child.” —Paul
Paul, I discovered the little reader on my first visit to the Bradley Beach Library. So I guess it was the hair–plus my natural prejudice of thinking that girls read more than boys–that convinced me. If you get up close, you can read the words on her book’s open pages.
JW You got me! I confess that I didn’t actually walk up to the statue and do a gender assessment. But a closeup view of the image shows long hair and long pants, although the pants end at mid calf.
Did you come to your conclusion that it is a girl by the hair and the pants?
What am I missing?
The “boy reading under a tree” is actually a girl. But since this is a statue, what the diff. Maybe the statue represents a hermaphrodite.
Dave: Who said so? We like to launch surprises. So don’t count your ducklings before they hatch.
Eat more chicken.
Misleading contest! Ocean Grove blog. Prize at Smugglers. Would have to be an Ocean Grove location, right??? But I knew it wasn’t in Ocean Grove…
Thanks JK, but Nancy beat you to it. Keep trying. Paul
Nancy. Congrats, you are first with the correct answer. Stop by Smuggler’s Cove on Main Avenue and speak to Rich Lepore, the smuggler in chief.—Paul
This looks like the Bradley Beach Public Library. 511 4th Avenue. Lovely landscape, quaint library.
