What a terrific video; OC will always have a special place in my heart. It was our vacation spot every year when I was growing up. I used to cry when our week ended and we had to head back to Baltimore. I love the old photos and the memories they bring back to me.

Love OC. I have been summering there for over 50 years. My father had the foresight to build us a house and my family still has it. I love reading and now seeing the history of this wonderful resort. Thank you for preserving it!

My mother grew up in Ocean City and was there during the hurricane. She watched the inlet cut (until Mr. Dan Trimper told her to go home!) I showed her the video tonight and she was so thrilled! Thank you for this treasure.

Heard the ‘stories’ of this mighty Storm that carved the inlet and forever shaped the ‘island town’ but nothing like seeing to comprehend! May OC ‘weather’all the storms to come as well….Thanks For This Gift of Filming
