There’s nothing quite like going fishing on the Navesink on those summer days.
So, today’s Retro Pic of the Day honors the tradition with a look back at a very popular native Fair Havenite doing a little solo fishing — Chum Chandler.
Chum passed away in March of 2015. He lived his life in Fair Haven, knew everyone and every simple pleasure about local life. Know when and where this pic was taken?
So, here’s to a happy, healthy summer from a real local perspective!
RIP, Chum Chandler. Gone fishin’!
