Spindle Point Civic Assoc.

I spent 40 summers at Spindle Point, from a young boy into manhood. I remember some sort of land panic going on in the late 1950's. It seems there was the possibility that lake front property owners were afraid that the empty lots across the road, (with no lake acess) would be purchased by others who would use the lake front land to access the water in the owners absense. I think something similar happened in the next neighborhood called Pinnicle Park. Anyway the Spindle Point Civic Assoc. was formed, I assume to combat this from taking place.I know many residents at the time Purchased these lots so no one else could. Does anyone else remember this? I wonder if the Assoc. still exists? Iam sure most of the original members have passed away by now. If anyone can shed some light on this I would love to hear about!
