Talk:Dewey Beach, Delaware

message: From the article; "The town's first mayor, Bruce Vavala, reportedly spent his first day in office surfing[citation needed]."
The other day, as Dewey's webmaster, I asked him about this. His response (via email):

Yes it is true.  Pre cell phone times and they were trying to reach me and they kept calling the house bugging my wife and finally she told them they could not reach me because I was surfing.  Hit AP and UPI and I got copies of news articles from overseas.

Bruce, there's a note in Wikipedia on Dewey that says "The town's first mayor, Bruce Vavala, reportedly spent his first day in office surfing."
Any truth to that?

It is not clear to me how I should go about modifying the page to reflect this information;
It is not archived (except on my computers, although a  corresponding positive statement is now on the town web site), and
It is a statement by the individual involved; is this an adequate citation?

replies: text: Interesting and funny as it might be, this statement shouldn't be in the article.  Even if someone came up with a solid published source (after a year and a half of waiting for one), as it's written today it unjustly makes the mayor look irresponsible. Even if the source explained why he went surfing it would still be trivia, and less-interesting trivia at that.  I think it should be removed.  --CliffC (talk) 19:15, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
