“Changes? This place never changes,” Dave Gelfman, 101, said as he leaned back in his beach chair at his regular spot at the Silver Gull Beach Club in Queens. All around him, the Silver Gull — an oceanfront summer colony on an oddly deserted stretch of federal seashore near the western tip of the Rockaway Peninsula — was coming to life. To an outsider, the Silver Gull might seem soaked with the kitsch of bygone summers. It's part of a disappearing world of private waterfront clubs in New York City. This summer, @ニューヨーク・タイムズ journalists will chronicle a season at the beach club, where Dave is among the longest-standing members. A half-century of active summers here might not have helped him live this long, he said, “but it certainly didn’t hurt.” Last year, Dave's wife of 74 years died. Their summers at the Silver Gull were as routine as the tides. She would play mah-jongg and canasta, while he played tennis and paddleball. This year, returning to the club both hurts and heals.
