Johnny Deckert is one of those people who make Sea Bright Sea Bright.
A 78-year-old borough resident and longtime commercial fisherman in a town that was once full of them, Deckert has seen many changes, but none quite as drastic as those wrought by Hurricane Sandy.
His story is proof that the storm didnt only damage homes and businesses. It tore out a few pages of history as well.
