Wesley Lake. July. 2014. Taken from the porch of one of those Lake Avenue homes in OG. Paul Goldfinger photo. Suddenly, Last Summer is the name of a 1959 movie adapted from a Tennessee Williams play.
RALPH SHARON TRIO plays “The Things We Did Last Summer.” Sammy Cahn wrote the words; music by Julie Styne. (1946)
Here are the lyrics as sung by BEVERLY KENNEY who was a jazz singer performing and recording in the 1950’s in Greenwich Village. Her phrasing and airy voice were like a summer breeze.

NANCY WILSON from the 1938 film Romance in the Dark. Hoagy Carmichael wrote the song. Most recently Norah Jones has a knockout version.
“It’s not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills or delights me, oh no
It’s just the nearness of you.”

From Anita DiGiulio of Lake Avenue in Ocean Grove (Yes! A citizen activist materializes)
“Friends of Wesley Lake plan a clean-up event on Saturday, April 25 from 9am to 12 noon. Those who want to assist with the clean-up should meet on the Asbury side of the the Emory Street bridge at 9 am. The Friends ask people to wear gloves and bring nets or skimmers, and gardening tools. Participants should check the Facebook page for ‘Friends of Wesley Lake’ for more information and for updates.
“‘The Friends of Wesley Lake’ have been monitoring the meetings of the Wesley Lake Commission and trying to obtain more information about planned remediation activities. Problems with pond weed and garbage in the Lake last summer reinvigorated the organization and led to a previous clean-up event last October.
“Coincidentally, vegetation which may be pond weed suddenly appeared in the Lake on Sunday 4/12 and appeared to grow rapidly. The commission has advised that they will address possible actions against the pond weed at their next meeting on April 21, at 5:30 pm in the Neptune Municipal building.”
