It's only been 20 years for me, and with the amount of change I've seen, I can only imagine what you've seen in 40. I know, and accept, that change is inevitable. But change can be managed properly. I of course understand progress, expansion, etc., but it can be done in a fashion that is more respectful of the natural beauty of things, I prefer that. That's all. No feeling of "owning the lake". Just a preference and a hope.
