JERSEY SHORE PEOPLE
Poems of Worth
by Jill M. Ocone
W
alking down First Avenue in Manasquan, you might
not realize that you passed one of the true gems of the
Jersey Shore. She has a tremendous smile, a contagious
laugh, and has been an inspiration to both her neighbors
and visitors to Manasquan since 1991. She is Bette June
Worth, Manasquan's own "Step Poet."
