Original sign - Seaplane base

joey2665 · 01-17-2019, 09:57 AM

There have been a few threads that mention Robert Fogg over the years but I don’t remember which ones. I’m sure APS or McDude can help. I would love to know if this is authentic I might put in a bid

The Rice family is a bit of a legend. Does anyone know anything about who Jane was? Was it the wife of Thomas P. Rice, who owned Stonedam Island?

I find it interesting she is addressed as a "Ms." Didn't think "Ms." was used until relatively recently.

It appears Thomas Rice was Jane's grandfather and a partner of Robert Fogg. When I was around 9 yrs. old I'd watch TP Rice land his sea plane at Stonedam Island. I got to meet him and his wife. Their place on Stonedam was about as rustic as one could get. They did have electricity run by a generator. I think it powered one light bulb.

Someone on Stonedam is fixing the "beach house" up and has been spending a lot of time and money there. Someone told me it's a female member of the Rice family...Maybe Jane?

Thank you TIS. Went back to look at this and McDudes links. Great information, I love lake history. I really would like this sign and I have a bid on it but not going near the 605.00 they are asking.
