Thank you Lee, I live in the Oyster Cove Condominiums on Front Street and I’m glad that I found this site. I’ve lived here for several years and was an executive with Sikorsky Aircraft for 20+ years before retiring at the end of 2018. I’m interested in getting more involved in the community through volunteer work. I look forward to meeting you. Regards, Derek Jones
