This is Nathan. He’s a second homer in the Grove. He tackled the surf on a foggy morning . He’s happy. Paul Goldfinger photo. Oct 23, 2020 ©

Nathan lives in Manhattan, but he loves to escape to his lakeside home in the Grove. He seems like a typical high energy New Yorker.  His name connotes New York. Remember Nathan Detroit the gambler from Guys and Dolls?  And how about Nathan’s Famous where you line up in Coney Island for the best hot dogs and fries.

This morning we met him on the Ocean Grove boards after letting the Atlantic Ocean knock him around a bit.  He’s going back to The City, but he’s already thinking about his next visit returning to the Grovarian surf.
