I was born in Bay City in 1929 and remember going swimming at the State Park Beach as a young boy. When my Dad got home from work we would get into the Essex car and drive to the State Park Beach. We had towels to dry off , but wore the wet bathing suits home, sitting on a covering for the car seats.

I also remember the Merry-Go-Round on the East end of the Beach by the Water Plant.

So glad to see the Beach "clean".

We moved to Houston, Texas with Dowell and later to Dow in Freeport. We hope to get back on vacation in the Fall. Dick Hardy and his Wife were schoolmates at Central High School.
