Long Beach is located on the Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay (the side with hills) about midway between Chespeake Beach and Solomons Island. It is still one of my favorite places in the world – which is good since, as I mentioned before, I still live here!

My parents started paying me a salary back when I was only 12 years old but the work had begun long before that! All 3 of us daughters helped with the weekly summer cottage vacation rentals, the boat rentals and running Flag Harbor Marina which my father opened in 1950. I’m pleased to say that I’m friends with several folks who have been here even longer than I have, and I’m one of the original baby-boomers.  My goal for this blog is to share not only Long Beach’s history but Calvert County’s as well. The hospital I was born in is now the County Sheriff’s Office but that kind of adds more flavor to the story. My county, my community and my career have all changed greatly over the years. Visit my blog frequently to share my journey and your thoughts!
