Arthur and Rose Lem, now reunited, are smiling down on Kismet to see their namesake snapper derby continue to thrive and all the children having such a great day. Community spirit is exemplified in this great annual Fire Island event, where every person and every child has a role to play and learns to fish for a lifetime.
