What is your favorite lake memory?

and just talkeLake from N.J. in the early 50s, 1952 to be exact was not the easiest of trips. We rented on Bear Island. My fond memory was arriving at Shep Browns and being greeted by Shep and his wife Adelaid. Also Gordon who lived with them. Before we left fo the island we would sit on the front porch and just talk.
Now I have a daughter,grandaughter, and great-grandaughter who still return every summer.I am now 84, but still miss the Lake terribly!

I know it is a hard one, but being 84 years old it will never get any easier.....you know you want to, and the healing waters of Winnipesaukee, the clean air will do you good. After we sold our place, my Grandfather always went up at some point of the year, until he passed at 95 years old......please make another run, you will be glad that you did........GS If I can assist you in anyway, let me know.
