An update on Camp Menotomy & other issues...

If I remember correctly, Camp Samoset had a trust that states 'to be use for recreational purposes for Jewish boys'. Somehow the lawyers were able to break the trust and thus Samoset condominiums were born. Further research shows if the land was under conservatorship such as Belknap Conservatory Trust or LRCT it would not have happen. A good reason why my family choose to place the Ramblin' Vewe Farm under Belknap Trust umbrella.

The old Phil Roux property on top of Cotton Hill Road was also willed not to be subdivided, but scrupulous lawyers did exactly that!
