A weekly feature from Ocean City Beach Patrol historian Fred Miller:
Ten years ago, Ocean City Beach Patrol’s Chief Tom Mullineaux hired these men and women as rookie lifeguards after they scored high in the swimming, rowing and running tests: from left, front row, Tim Adams, Chris Whelan, Paul Boardman, Cailin Eisele, John Farnoly, Ian Carey, Casey McAllister; middle row, John Lilley, James Graham, Jim Thornton, Pat Welsh, Graham Parker, Zack Eberson, Joe Duntee; back row, Joe Carroll, Evan Eachus, Dave Teufel, Tom Newnam, Garrett Hauck, Justin Perry, Andrew Carter. Tyler Fitzick and Brad Thornton missed the picture.
The 2014 OCBP tryouts will be held Saturday, June 14 and
Sunday, June 15 at 9:00 a.m., on the First Street Beach. Registration will begin at
