  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, in October, I had the opportunity to 
attend the Sea Isle City Beach Patrol Annual Hall of Fame Induction. 
The Sea Isle Beach Patrol was officially formed in 1919 to protect the 
beachgoers who vacationed in the popular resort town. It started as 
just two lifeguards and three volunteers and has now grown into a large 
group. At the induction I attended, Robert Herzog, Bill Feaster, Jr., 
Jim Guntle, Jordy Troyan, Danny Rodgers, and Pat Scannapieco were 
inducted into the Beach Patrol Hall of Fame. Robert has been a part of 
Sea Isle Beach Patrol for 8 years and was also the mascot for multiple

surf bash competitors. Bill has been a part of Sea Isle Beach Patrol 
since 1980 and was a top 3 finisher multiple years in Sea Isle City 
Beach Patrol singles. Jim won the Avalon Beach 6-mile run and was also 
voted by beach patrol members to be the first President of the Sea Isle 
Beach Patrol lifeguards. Jordy was a full-time lifeguard from 2003 to 
2010 and represented Sea Isle Beach Patrol on the Surf Dash Team, Swim 
Events, and Paddle board events. Danny won the singles row for the Sea 
Isle Beach Patrol for the first time in its history. Lastly, Pat has 
been a rowing legend on the Sea Isle City Beach Patrol for many years 
and has won the title of ``the most winningest doubles oarsman'' in the 
history of the Sea Isle Beach Patrol. These individuals should all be 
proud of their accomplishments and service to South Jersey, and it was 
my honor to watch them be inducted into the Hall of Fame. God Bless the 
Sea Isle Beach Patrol, and God Bless America.
