My old job, I used to work with Kevin Kirk and Rosendo. I used to work in the factory and then became a manager for distribution. They are filming on my old desk. Next to Kathy and Janice. I used to know every clammer by name. John decker used to give us chocolates. Puppet R.I.P used to give us cigarettes. Low paying job for the guys inside. But what an experience. Hard work, some of the hardest I’ve done. A time of my life I’ll never forget but it’s already so far back in my past it seems like a dream. If anyone reads this from the old days message me on here.

The highlands are my second home. I have a boat at the Atlantic highlands harbor and I just love that area!

They never said how much the diggers got per clam should be at least 10 cents yay the one fellow kinda chuckled when he said some of the guys like catching the large clams do they pay the same or more, just wondering

Nice video

[@edwardschmitt5710]

Excellent

In Maryland you can eat clams and oysters right out of the bay

A lot of great information, but I really hate listening to John complaining about the regulations. The limits and testing regulations are in place to protect the clams, so they keep making little clams, and the testing keeps people from getting sick. Take all the clams and there will be no clams, have a bunch of people get sick and no one will buy the clams. Kevin seems to understand the regulations keep him in business. BTW in the 1976-1977 school year James White and Mrs Espy (or was it Espey) were my 6th grade teachers. She mainly did English and History, he mainly did Math and Science.

Unfortunately this is an art being lost to time, and a lack of an interest in tradition. Good show.

Kind of reminds me of Fred Willard's commentary in the movie "Best in Show". kzbin.info/www/bejne/an2bp5Scm95orZo kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5akfomvZd6Vj6M
