Synopsis
Down by the Ocean
Published by Samuel French Inc
4 Male 2 Female
Summers later, she is a Korean war widow who continues to disrupt and bewilder the men on the porch. Dan is willing, Peter is concerned with sin, Wally just wants to hear the ball game, and David finally succumbs to her charms
Everyone grows older, heartburn flares into a heart attack, someone dies, the tide goes in and out, lives move on. By 1960 Peter owns the summer house but not much changes. Again, the men on the porch welcome the women and children back from the annual outing on the beach
