Tommy was a local hot surfer who worked in the Velzy and Jacobs shop on Pacific Coast Highway and Linda was the tandem partner of the great Mike Doyle. Then in the early 1960s I became friends with Benny Merrill, a San Onofre Surf Club member who lived in San Clemente with his wife Kay, son Tommy and daughter Linda. I first started to surf at San Onofre way back in the 1950s when the mother of two brothers who lived down the street, who were my age and both learning to surf at the same time as I was, would drive us down there in the back of her station wagon. It involves the San Onofre Surf Club, the Merrill family and a classic old surf dude named Eddie McBride.
