My name is Fenton Groff III. I was born in Cape May County. I was raised in Avalon and grew up playing in Mayor Armacost Park on 74th Street, as well as the beachfront property that my father, Fenton Groff Jr., proudly owned. My father moved to Avalon before I was born in 1963 and bought several properties throughout the borough. He was able to get these valued properties dirt cheap due to the market scare after the 1962 March storm that wiped out the first four blocks of Avalon.
