Everybody cross their fingers and make a wish for a Spring filled with warm sunny days and cool evenings, with  Northside Park full of budding trees, bushes and flowers, and the beach extra wide with a dune filled with grass.
    …then they will come! Are we ready? All of us here at the Clarion are on the fast track for summer. Ms. Trudi, Lisa, Mary and Chuck are busy with Horizons, the Ocean Club Nightclub, and Lenny’s Beach Bars & Grill (not yet open, but getting’ ready.) Our bartenders Mary, Todd, Scott, Adam and Rick are already talking about buckets of rum and Piña Coladas. There will be some new faces, so please don’t be bashful.
    We hope to see our snow-birds returning, especially Mavis, who I, for one, have missed. Brian, a favorite at the Ocean Club, is busy with preparations for his daughter’s wedding. Joe, an overseer of the Nightclub, has just celebrated a birthday; a day he shares with another cherished personality. I am not allowed to print her name, but she is well loved in Ocean City, and here in Horizons and the Ocean Club.
    See you all here, where the big kids play!
