OCHS’s Zoom Presentation of Tracing Cranberry Inlet History
March 20, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
| FreeTracing Cranberry Inlet History
Join Ocean County Historical Society’s Zoom presentation at 2:00 PM on March 20th. Enthusiastic storyteller, Ron Post, a surveyor, sailor, racer of catamarans, car collector and 1970 graduate of the University of Walt Disney World, will present his research on the history of the Cranberry Inlet that once connected Barnegat Bay with the Atlantic Ocean.
Ron grew up in Morris County, collaborated with a surveyor after high school graduation, was drafted into the Army, returned to Morris County to collaborate again with a surveyor, and at age 29, moved with his sailboat to Orlando, FL. He became a marina supervisor at the Contemporary Hotel in Disney World, married his wife Karen in 1980, and then returned to the Jersey Shore.
Earning his surveyor’s license in 1983, Ron started his own surveying business in Toms River. With Karen’s help, their “mom and pop” business working out of the basement has morphed into the present Ronald W. Post Surveying Inc. offering property, utility, and aerial surveying to the public.
Bringing his love of surveying and maps to his presentation, Ron will explain how Mother Nature created, then destroyed the Cranberry inlet, until enterprising developers and builders finally tamed it.
