He graduated from WPI with a degree in Electrical Engineering but spent his professional career in Marketing and Sales.During World War II, his dad was conscripted by the government to work as a private contractor under their control. His last assignment was at Camp Edwards on Cape Cod. While there, his dad rented a cottage near the ocean. As a young boy, the author spent two Summers living there with his family. He fell in love with the ocean and dreamed of one day owning a cottage on an ocean beach.While at WPI he was selected, along with nine others, to join an organization known as THE SKULL. During the initiation process he learned a significant lesson that stayed with him all his life. It was, "If you want to do something hard enough and you make a commitment to do it, you can sometimes accomplish what initially seemed impossible."His wife Ann also loved the ocean, so when they had a chance to buy land and build a cottage at Saquish Beach, it was an opportunity they could not pass up. It would be a wonderful place for them to raise their two young daughters. Saquish is located on a remote peninsula only thirty miles southeast of Boston. It has no town roads or services. Commercial electricity and landline telephone service were not available. You had to drive five miles using a 4-wheel drive vehicle to get there. During high tides it was often inaccessible.The author writes about the times he and his family spent there during the forty years. He relives the memories, observations and experiences in building a cottage and participating in a host of activities on a remote beach.ver menos
