About 9 months ago Scott and I went to his High School Homecoming game held every year on Thanksgiving. His High School is Haddon Heights, New Jersey. While there he saw some old friends and decided to join the Alumni. Two or three months afterwards he read more about the alumni and found that there was another alumni living in our hometown of Sarasota. His name is Dr. Marty Cummings and he lives at Plymouth Harbor on Lido Key. It didn't take long for Scott and Marty to become great friends. Marty celebrated his 88th birthday today September 7th and we gave him a surprise party last night. Marty has become an important part of our lives and we want our friends and family to meet him. Marty is an avid fisherman and takes Scott and I out fishing periodically. Marty has a very interesting life as he was the one who started the National Library of Medicine under Michael Debakey in Washington DC in the year 1964.
