I knew Audrey Hertzel was a loyal “06880” reader.
I didn’t know she’s also an excellent photographer.
Yesterday — while the rest of us partied at the 1st-ever “06880” beach bash — she was busy with her camera.
Enjoy her shots. (And I hope she enjoyed a shot or two — or some other drink — in between all her photography, tent-erecting and banner-making work!)
‘0’! It was quite a party.
Jennifer Hershey and Mary Hoffman were party planners extraordinaire.
Maite Hernandez, Roy Marmelo and Robin Singer. Maite provided some great Cuban food — just 24 hours after she and her husband Roy returned from a month in Europe.
Pete Romano and Robin Tauck — one of Westport’s favorite couples.
Achara and her friend shared a fantastic pizza.
Judy James, Matt Mandell and Dewey Loselle may or may not have discussed local politics.
Tom Lowrie, Kelle Ruden and Mike Laux have got the Rotary Club, library and swim team scenes covered.
Brian Hershey gained “06880” fame for stories on his trips to observe polar bears in the Arctic, and North Koreans in their repressive country.
Andy and Meryl Kaplan relax.
Master cupcake maker Lisa Alter, Linda Hudson and Rick.
Newcomer Michelle Benner and oldtimer Terry Brannigan.

Prill Boyle and yours truly. We go way back — to Burr Farms Elementary School.
60% of “06880” isn’t too bad. See you next year, at the 2nd annual party! (All photos by Audrey Hertzel, except as noted)
Looks like it was a success! Sorry I couldn’t be there to join in the fun, food and conversation, Dan. Next year?
For sure.
Many thanks to all involved for a great occasion. Great to bring the all the digital conversations into real life ones.
Yes, many thanks indeed.
Lovely night, wonderful idea. Thanks to Dan and other 06880 movers and shakers!
You have a true understanding of “community.” Well done, Coach.
