Sheehan Returns to Scene of the Crime
Chuck and I visited Philadelphia, the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic City/Ocean City, N.J., during a whirlwind visit with dear friends.

Zack disappeared from his office at The Daily News, so I took over for awhile.

Maria Gallagher free-lances as a food writer now.


Thomas Paine Cronin: re-elected, unindicted and ... learning how to snuba dive.


Kitty Caparella and her Sept. 11 art.


I met Cindy Burton in 1979 at the A.C. Press. Now she's at the Inquirer.


What's a visit to the Daily News without a photo of Elvis?


I got a chance to see non-newspaper types, too: Laura, David and Carol.


The Ridley Creek Falls are right outside Medard's home.


Retired World Gamer, Medard Gabel, at his Ridley Creek home.


Oooh baby, oooh baby, oooh baby, ooooh. Pete and his NJ babes.


There's Pete with his hand .... Some things never change!


Bob Kerr wonders how Pete can get away with it.

CAPTION CONTEST!


Chuck played a little guitar when we ran out of jokes and old stories. ... Huh?!


Got some shopping in, too. Kaitlin's jewelry is fabulous!


Bennett Kerr celebrated 11 years on the planet on our 8th anniversary.


Donna was on "official duty" at the festival.


This is where it all began ....


We got a table for 12 and ate lobster dockside in Gardner's Basin.


Kaitlin has a boyfriend!


We think Pete approves. He came all the way from Colorado!


Robin brought her mom, Pearl Lichten, to the seafood festival.


We actually spent more time outside Philadelphia ...


Sailing.


With Ruth, my old sailing buddy


Gilbert at the helm.


Rockin' Robin


And Jim Martin, on his last sailing adventure. The sailing bug never bit him.


Absolutely perfect sailing weather.


A mad woman took the helm at one point.


Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jim hates sailing.


The boat's owner, Mickey; Gilbert; and the sterns of Chuck and our boat.


Doesn't get any better than this.


A couple of skipjacks were out when we pulled into St. Michael's.


Gilbert enjoys the sunset and a rum punch at the bow.


A three-hour tour on Sunday before the wind kicked up to 35 knots.
