In February of 1977, the waters around Gerritsen Beach were frozen solid for a week. From left to right, Jack Kennedy, Kevin Cavanagh and John McKeon stand on the ice, dangerously far from solid ground and the end of Kay Court. The mouth of the canal is visible in the background to the left. John and Kevin walked across the ice to Knapp Street that week, a temporary shortcut to Sheepshead Bay High School.
