A Summer Rescue
by Meg Corcoran
As an employee of Public
Safety in Wildwood Crest,
Ralph Grassi has developed
quite a reputation around
town as the go-to guy when
it comes to animals in distress.
His compassion for all things
big and small (and oftentimes
furry) has resulted in numerous animal rescues. Rumor
has it that birds have been
known to crawl right up his
arm!
When Carol Black and her
husband spotted two baby
sandpipers slip through the
gutter openings at Denver
and Seaview Avenues as they
were crossing the street with
their mother, she, naturally,
knew the right man for the
rescue mission.
Shortly following Mrs. Black’s
call, Ralph and his co-worker
Dean Deritis were on the
scene, removing the gutter
and climbing the seven feet
down to reach the struggling
birds. Once back on dry
ground, Ralph cleaned the
baby birds and set them down
in the hopes their mother
would return for them. She
did and the babies followed
(one can only assume they
were in need of some destressing family beach time).
Ralph to the rescue once
again!

little peeps back to nature.

Often it happens that we do not express our love for our friends or rather we are not able to show our affection for our friends, but
it is necessary to make our friends feel that they are the most wanted people of our life. “A friend is one of the nicest things you
can have, and one of the best things you can be.”
of Smiles!
If I had my
way,
I would
introduce
everyone in the
whole world to
each other.
