Oh my...flashback to the late 70's and early-mid 80's. What is now CJ Avery's was the Schooner, and when we would come up the the lake, Dad would insist on going to the Schooner. Great food, great staff, Roland and his wife were the greatest cook and hostess team. Our kids were preteen, and then just barely teenagers. "Don't eat so many crackers, you won't be able to eat your supper." and Roland would come out and take the kids back in to the kitchen and FEED THEM back there. He was worse than grandpa ever thought of being.
there was a couple who used to come there all the time, and they had a dog, black lab I think, that would sit behind the steering wheel while the owners were in the restaurant. the car had a remote starter (first I had ever seen), and they would start the car up while people were standing there looking at the dock behind the steering wheel.
