	"Sea Breeze Hotel, On the Beach, Buckroe Beach, VA"	"3/4 inch X 2 inch Trolley Ticket for a long ago Sunday School trip from Buckroe Beach to Old Point Virginia. This ticket has aged well and has no user value. It was for the Calvary Baptist Sunday School. I would guess it is from the 1920 but have no real knowledge of the fact. Some age fade appears..."	"Tournament at Buckroe Beach near Old Point, Va."
			I scanned this at 600 dpi. That is why the file is so large. WOW, that pulls out a lot of detail, doesn't it?

WOW! Thanks, Michael!	Every now and then an image comes along which is so clear, so evocative of the moment, that I am almost literally transported back to the days of my childhood, bringing back memories so crisp and clean I can not only smell them but taste them. This is one of those pictures. Thank you so much, Dave! This is a true treasure. - Carol Buckley Harty of NC - 04/30/04	OOOH! Thanks, Guys!	OHHH, David! This one is wonderful! It really takes me back! I can almost smell it! Thanks so much!

I moved to Buckroe Beach 3-1/2 years ago and have enjoyed every minute of it. Some of the pictures you have on the web page of the beach and amusement park in the past are outstanding. I'm sending some pictures of what Buckroe Beach looks like now.			I took these last week-end. Notice in the background McNamara's Pier 1 and the fishing pier. New this year is "Bark Park" (for your dogs to play) and "SS Buckroe" (for your kids to play).
