Lois Hoffmane will be in on Saturday, June 13th, signing her book, "Don't Touch that, Oscar!"
When Ben took the Bay Avenue path that led over the dune to Lewes Beach, he saw something shining on the wet sand and picked up a small piece of metal, inscribed with the words: U.S. Life-Saving Service, District No. 5, Station No. 4, Surfman No.1. He rubbed the sand off the badge and looked up to see a surfman, dressed in dark blue and carrying a walking stick, who introduced himself as Levi Lynch and said: “Why, you’ve found my surfman’s brass patrol check.” Discover what Ben learns about the brave surfmen living a life of sacrifice and service at the Lewes Life-Saving Station and how the surfmen from the Cape Henlopen area stations – Levi Lynch among them – joined together to save nearly two hundred lives during the Great Blizzard of 1888. Exciting adventures awaited Ben! And what happens to the brass check?
