My only "mistake" was being born in a neighboring state; however, I appeared in Melvin Village shortly afterwards. My family has been in Melvin since before the Depression, so I can sympathize with those who call themselves "native".
Their first home is today the site of The Melvin Marina: between the barn and the dwelling is a well. The present owners didn't know that until I told them!
My family knew Dr. Libby—of the Libby Museum—and were pioneers among the Lakes Region's earliest aviators. My family goes back to a summer camp—that was founded at the turn of the Century—
two centuries ago!
None in my family supports the cause of boaters who have
no empathy for their fellow boaters—whether "native" or not.
