But their assumption in the quote is that because they have no photos of such use in the 70's or 80's then it's likely that use didn't occur before 1962. Well, I DO have photos of such use in the 70's and 80's, so by their logic, it's possible that it also occurred before 1962. My basic point was, check your old photos to see if there's a boat ramp or storage in any of them...there may be proof out there somewhere that the ramp was there in the early 60's.
