Lucy the Elephant的点评
点评：I moved to Margate in 1966 and our family owned Champions Variety store on Ventnor Ave, between Washington and Adam’s Ave. Our family lived in the apartment on top and we could see Lucy from our back porch. As kids my sister and I and all of our friends loved her though she was pretty run down. Most of the adults in town hoped she would blow away in the next storm. Finally in the 7th grade with assistance of my friend Linda Schlum and our Home Ec.teacher Virginia Casselle , we organized a White Elephant Sale to Save Lucy. (They even had a picture of us in the Atlantic City Press)…
The state said it would cost $50,000.00 dollars to fix her up and if we could raise half of the money they would match it. Thanks to a couple of school kids and a teacher from Eugene Tighe School we got the ball rolling and she has looked pretty darn good since the early 1970’s. And one other kid from our class, namely Richard Helfant is now her “caretaker” and makes sure she stays gorgeous. Remember there was a postcard of her in the opening credits on National Lampoons “Vacation” so she is also a bonafide movie star….

翻译：1966年我搬到了马盖特，我们家在华盛顿大道和亚当斯大道之间的文特诺尔大道上经营着一家名为“Champions Variety”的杂货店。我们一家人住在楼上的公寓里，从后门廊就能看到露西。虽然它已经破旧不堪，但小时候我和姐姐以及所有的朋友都很喜欢它。镇上的大多数成年人则希望它能在下一场风暴中被吹走。最终，在我上七年级时，在我的朋友琳达·施卢姆以及我们的家政课老师弗吉尼亚·卡塞尔的帮助下，我们组织了一次“白象拍卖会”来拯救露西。（《大西洋城报》甚至还刊登了我们的照片）……
州政府称，修复露西需要5万美元的费用；如果我们能筹集到一半的资金，他们也会相应出资。多亏了尤金·蒂格学校里的几位学生和一位老师，我们才顺利启动了这项计划。从20世纪70年代初起，露西的模样就一直相当不错了。还有我们班上的另一个孩子也帮了忙。也就是说，理查德·赫尔凡特现在是她的“照料人”，负责确保她始终容光焕发。记得在《假期历险记》的开场字幕中出现过她的明信片，所以她也确实是一位真正的电影明星……——来自马盖特的一位老居民，现居新泽西州塔克顿的林恩·艾弗里（哈内克）。
