Trent Edmondson used to work a job on the Balboa Island ferry.
But when the pandemic set in, the 17 year old decided that he’d leave his job. His mother, Cindy Edmondson, didn’t have the best immune system, he said, and he wanted to limit his exposure to strangers to protect his and his family’s health.
After he quit, he said he’d been looking for things to do outside attending his classes at Newport Harbor High School, where he is a senior.
