After 38 years of teaching and coaching, I’m walking down the beautiful New Jersey Shore from Sandy Hook to Cape May simply because I can. For my entire life, my family, friends, and I have enjoyed all that the Jersey Shore offers. So, now that I have the time, I’m going to spend September at the Shore – the whole Shore from North to South – the beaches, boardwalks, and roads; the people I know and the people I’ll meet; the restaurants (and bars!); the water and waves; and, hopefully, the benign weather. If this sounds like a good idea and you’d like to follow me along the way, please make a donation to Geoffrey’s MVP and read this website to find out about what we want to accomplish.
