Behind the Benches is a collection of true stories from Long Beach Island, told one memorial bench at a time. Each one remembers someone who loved this place, told by the people who loved them.
If there's a bench that matters to you, or a person behind one whose story deserves to be told, I'd love to hear from you.
Not sure what that looks like? You can read one of the stories here first. Then share a little below and I'll be in touch.
Share a memory
Tell me about the bench.
A name, a place, a few words about the person it remembers. That's all it takes to begin.
Whatever you share, I'll treat it with care.
