"Hello, I was just reading from the Lake T memoirs. We lived on Staten Island  and had two houses on the lake. One of the, "the old house". Was said to be the first boyscout cabin built by Dan Beard. It was a 2 story that sat at the top of the lake. The floor of the front porch was a huge peice of slate and the house overlooked the lake. It burned down around 1960 I think. The second house, "new house" was up the hill a little from the other one. It was built by my grandfather (Anton Persson and my father Raymond Griffin). It was more modern and it seems like the outside looked like knotty Pine. There was a family  a little ways over that had a son about my older brothers age ( I think the boys name was Bobby Jumberg (SP) . Up our red slate driveway on the road was a small restaurant. I don't remember the name but I used to play with the kids. The boy was called Buzzy and his sisters' name was Fawn. I never knew their last names.my grandfather owned both houses and I think the new house was sold to someone whose last name was Frisbee. My parents and grandparents vacationed there every year before any of us kids were born. Then, we stayed there every summer until1960. It is my most favorite place on earth. The memories there are my happiest. Going out in the morning to pick blueberries for our cereal, going to the Cuckoo's Nest, stopping to let the bears cross the road. It was really great. We even stayed there one year.  I went to school in Greely and took 5th and 6th grades together. My teachers name was Mrs. Harrison (she was really nice but she looked like Walter Brennan!). At lunch time she used to let us swim in the creek. It's a really special place and I miss it to this day. I really enjoyed the photos (ours all burned in the fire). Thank you for sharing them. It's ok here in Iowa,but it still can't compare to PA."
