Oddly enough, today, someone sent me an old news copy from:

The Tuftonboro Times - Vol XVIII, No 4 - A Quarterly Newsletter Published by the Tuftonboro Association - Fall 2016

The point was to read these three articles:

-World’s only “Salmon Sunday”
-Pope Dam constructed in 1952
-Historic home

In reading about the lineage of the home, that is graciously opened to all who attend the stripping, I didn't see the name of an owner I knew had existed. I couldn't remember the name, but knew that I would recognize it if I saw it.

This led me to Google the Hansel and Gretel Shop, which finally led me to this old thread.

The name I couldn't remember is Wright. They owned the H&G Shop. After selling, they bought the house across from Pope Dam. Nevertheless, all of the fond memories expressed earlier in this thread certainly remain for me.

Lanes End pics:
The second picture would have been taken with your back toward where the old camp store was (beyond the store was where "the point" was, which is now where the docks are. Tons of rock had to be moved to make it work.). I wouldn't be surprised if that was my grandma sitting on the huge roots of the tree that has the poster(?) on it, watching us swim!
