These were the personal photographs of Patrik Moreton. Most of the photos in this collection are of life in the Pines between 1984 and 1994, with a smaller amount of family photos, foreign travel, camping and the 1986 Gay Games. The photos chronicle the large house parties of the mid to late eighties (popular on Fire Island) as well as the guests and housemates at “Sailor House” on Sail and Ocean Avenues.

Some of the “starlets” who performed at the Hollywood Shore Leave party were Ann Miller (Robert Donnelly), Rita Hayworth (David Merrill) and the two co-creators of the event Carmen Miranda (Aldyn McKean) and Marlene Dietrich (Patrik Moreton).
