A message in a bottle finds its way back to Dennis Komsa, then 12, after throwing it into the sea in Seaside Heights, NJ last August 16, 1963- thanks to Hurricane Sandy!

Norman Stanton was the one who initially found the message in a bottle while picking up the storm debris outside her sister's home last November 2012, at an area that's just about two tenths of a mile from where Dennis threw it 50 years ago. Komsa was recently reunited with this bottle during the 100^th anniversary of Seaside Heights.

Dennis admits that the message in a bottle was one of the many scientific experiments he and his father would conduct when he was younger. The note stated, in capital letters: "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, PLEASE FILL OUT THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS AND MAIL. "THIS IS A SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT BY DENNIS KOMSA, AGE 12." The following questions where: "WHERE WAS THE JAR FOUND? WHEN WAS IT FOUND? HOW WAS IT FOUND? AND ANYTHING ELSE WHICH MIGHT HELP ME?" Komsa writes his address near Patinson and even dropped in five cents for postage.

53-year old Stanton shares, "It looked like it was meant to be found," so he decides to keep it. Dennis in turn says, "So you throw in a bottle, figure somebody's going to find it and the note. And sure enough, the bottle came back. It's the same way with Seaside. If you believe it will come back, it will come back."

While this message in a bottle may seem like a record holder after finding its way back 50 years later, Dennis checked in with Guinness but someone else still beats him to it. The record for a bottle found thrown into the sea is at 97 years and 309 days, set last year and achieved by a fisherman in UK.

It isn't also the first bottle that was found through the ruins brought about by Sandy. During the December clean up in Long Island, a message in a ginger ale bottle was thrown by Sidonie Fery, who passed away three years ago. The message was given to her mother, which read: "Be excellent to yourself".
