. . . interesting to see how many Forum members originate from the Garden State. I left when I was 18 and have never been back! My Member name is a convoluted derivation of my last name that some jerk from high school gave me (and then sent a postcard to me at college where the nickname continued).

After spending 16 summers at my uncle's boys camp on Squam, the Lakes Region and White Mountains run in my blood. Not finding a meaningful professional career in NH, I had to settle for the occasional weekly summer house rental. Unable to afford anything on Squam, my wife and I purchased a home in Meredtih in 1999. With a little luck, we will be calling Meredith home by this time next year.

Beleive-it-or-not, with the exception of weekends in July and August, I actually like Winni better than Squam!
