When I was 7 and my older sister Sylvia was 8 our teenage brother John took us to the Boardwalk. We played for a while and then my brother decided to run away from home…..and from us! We were left all alone at the Boardwalk about 2 miles from home. We were not sure how to get back home so we just started crying until a police officer came to our rescue and brought us home to our parents who were very relieved because we were several hours late getting home.
