A family bench honoring a Norwalk couple who died is finally back where it belongs.
Dean Hacohen noticed it was missing from Rocky Point in Norwalk after a storm last November.
The bench drifted across the Long Island Sound and landed in East Setauket, 17 miles away. That's where Diane and Bob Wattecamps found it on their daily walk at Meadow Beach on Long Island. They noticed the plaques with the Hacohens' names on it.
