Richard Arnold Beattie:
On a cold day in 1926, an entourage of “suits” flocked to a sand bar on the south shore of Nassau County, on New York’s Long Island. While if there was an aerial view of this gathering, one may have thought that it was a penguin migration. In fact, it was a meeting with some of the world’s greatest engineers, architects and city planners. In the center of this professional flock was a balding, rather serious gentleman. He is known as Moses- Robert Moses that is! To that point, known as the master builder of the five boroughs of New York. The most powerful man who was called by many as a “Power Broker,” this Moses, at that date and time, was on one of his very first assignments as the head of the newly formed, Long Island State Park Commission. While the group “brainstormed” what to do with this sand bar, Moses began writing on the back of an envelope. Or was he drawing? A little bit of both as it is related. Robert Moses, was drawing and writing his vision for what the sandbar would become. And in between the roadways and the parking lots, was a plan for pedestrians, swimmers, golfers and clean family entertainment, “the sweetest music from Broadway to Jones Beach.”
