I had many good times in Myrtle Beach with my cousins, Dale and Bets. The Surf Rider was on the beach and had an indoor pool and hot tub. He slipped into the hot tub one day and a guest thought he dove into it. Maybe a few beers? Lots of laughs and good times! My mom Dot Porter and Bets were 1st cousins. RIP Dale.
