Kerry Wells, a teacher at Windermere Ranch Middle School, recently won two 100 year passes at the Santa Cruz, CA boardwalk.

Wells netted the passes as part of the boardwalk's centennial celebration contest, boardwalk officials said. She and her 12-year-old son will receive two free passes to the boardwalk every year for the next 100 years.

The passes are not transferable but can be passed along to heirs. So, her son will be able to take his child and perhaps that son will be able to take his child – if the boardwalk is around in 2107! 

I wonder what the value of those passes will be in a hundred years – or if San Ramon and California will have solved the affordable housing issues by then or if housing will be subject to a lottery drawing – Wells won the passes in a random drawing of over 11,000 entries.
