THE LIFEGUARD STATION at the foot of Grand Avenue was around 15 years old when I took this picture in October 1980. I’m not sure if there are any lifeguards still working from this period, but I expect they would tell you the new station, which opened in 2006, was a much-needed improvement. Sorry that Butch Skinner’s Baskin-Robbins photo was published in black and white in the last edition.
