There's a nice article about Waldemar Kasriels in the Press Republican: Beach Club represents life's work for Westport Man.
The owner of Normandie Beach Club on Furnace Point Lane devotes his life to giving others the opportunity to enjoy the outdoor world.
He believes in opening up this world to everyone — but especially for children.
Kasriels, now 73, was born in France in 1937. His father was stationed in New York City as a representative of the French government responsible for promoting French products in the United States. The family moved back and forth between the two countries with some frequency, and the boy grew up bilingual.
