Today on the show we were lucky enough to have Eliot Colon, Brielle Councilman, former Board of Education member and president, and co founder of the charity I.F.C. United based in Brielle.

We talk about all of the service that Eliot has given to the community across these organizations.

Back to the origins of our origins, today we had our fathers, Jay Terzis and Keith Wohltman on the show to hear about how they came to find Manasquan and their super interesting paths along the way.

From Jay playing in the Villiage with Jimmi Hendrix and Van Morrison while Keith was navigating the Vietnam War draft and service in the Army, to the friendship they've built over 40+ years in town.

On today's podcast we meet Brielle Resident and great friend of the podcast, Doug Bard.

We cover Hurricane Erin, surfing, tuna fishing, and Doug's passion project - The Wave Tape.

Wow. Episode 4 and we have the Mayor of Manasquan, Michael Mangan!
