Life jackets. Grew up on LI Sound. Dad had flown marine jets off aircraft carriers. We were wiseass kids great swimmers “wear a life vest!” Dad saw his share of drownings, head injuries, he always said you gotta wear a life vest.
A little no alcohol 1030 am Memorial Day crash turns tragic w no life vests.
My ex-Navy father also made us wear life vests and he wore one too. People made fun of us at the dock, but we didn't drown.
