>Dear, Bobby, Mars... Yes, I was only 10years old but my family vacationed in Wildwood for many years prior to and following the tragic fire... I'm sure you have explored the achives of the Phila. papers, they cover all the big shore blazes... It it one of the few sad memories I have of Wildwood, that town has suffered many great lossess over the years some of course resulting in the loss of life... Among those lossess are Zaberers and Count Draculas Castle... Nothing lasts forever... Enjoy life while you can, you only pass this way once and very briefly... And, by the way, I still have a knot on my noggin from walking into one of the glass panels in the glass house, boy did my sister ever laugh at her little brother... Fondest memory was driving back to the motel out in Rio Grande after a full night on the boards, looking out the rear view window seeing that big bueatiful ferris wheel and remembering... Good luck.... Bill Does anyone remember the Casino Arcade Pier amusement
