I can never forget Maple Crest beach.  I worked there briefly in the early 50s when I was a young teen living in Teaneck.  But the event that is forever in my memory is that on Sat. June 6, 1953, a friend and classmate of mine drowned there.  I was not with him, and learned of it at school on Monday morning. It was a life-changing event for me, and I recall it every year on D-Day.
