Jocelyn Cantor remembers walking to the Boardwalk from her home on Avenue Z and spending whole days at Steeplechase Park with her cousin when they were children. When she got older, Jocelyn and a girlfriend recruited some soldiers on leave to accompany them on the Parachute Jump. She recalls Coney Island as a wonderful, safe place to grow up.
