My Dad was born in Lynn Mass lived in the Boston area as a kid and would go to the camp run by the Boston YMCA on Sandy Island. He then moved to NJ and married my Mom. While reading the NYTimes on a Sunday he noticed cottages for rent in Meredith. He wanted us kids to see the lake so rented a cottage on Pinnacle Park Road. That was in 1950 and we continued to rent that cottage in Meredith for the month of August every year until I graduated high school in 1966. A couple of years ago we found that same cottage still for rent and the whole family took Dad, then 90 years old, to the lake once again. Got him on the Sophie C so he could visit Sandy Island. That was in July and the following January Dad died. We're sooooo thankful we were able to get him to his beloved lake one more time.
