Seaside History III

A plaque on the beach wall (above) honors the Keltys who owned the apartments at 710 Prom, where we often stayed.
 The picture in the middle (which I have posted before) is me on the wall in probably 1967. My grandfather is at the doorway. The Kelty's lived in a similar looking house to the left.  Further left, you can see the Boxer house, which I mentioned in a previous post, it was green at the time.
At the bottom is the apartment house as it looks today.  The house where they lived is clearly visible on the left. 
I'm not sure what exactly was involved in renting for as short of time as we stayed. Our apartment was bottom left as you walk into the door. 

Seaside History

This was Mr Boxer's house on the Prom in Seaside.  In the 60s and 70s he would hold Shabbat services on Satuday morning for Jewish residents and visitors in the area. 
The services were held in a room in his garage.  They were entirely in Hebrew and were attended by men only.  My Grandfather would often attend.  I attended on time in the later years. I found it too orthodox for me.

Comemorative Bench

This bench now sits on the Prom in Seaside Oregon, just south of the turnaround.  Seaside was our vacation spot growing up.  About 18 years ago, I brought my wife down who in turn, introduced it to her family (who were originally from the East Coast).  They fell in love with the place and have returned every year.  Along the Prom, there are benches with plaques honoring many of the families that have lived and vacationed in the oceanside town.  My wife's grandmother's (Lillian "GG" Eldridge) wish was to be remembered with such a bench.  She is alive and doing fine, and will soon get to visit and see the bench.  The bench also mentions my in-laws.
Thank you to my cousins Barbara and Laurie, who posted this picture along with a couple others on their visit.
