Default Summer jobs at lake

Fortunate enough to spend summers at the camp from freshman year in high school through college. Without a car the first few years I had to keep it local so I would walk to Ames Farms and chambermaid and also waitress, depending on the time of the season.

I was also the first employee hired by the William Tell and helped paint the dining room, chambermaid for the little motel that's long since been torn down. Once the restaurant was open I worked in the kitchen prepping salads and desserts.

For a few summers I walked to Ames for the the mornings/lunch and then walked in the other direction to the Tell for the dinner crowd.

Later years when had a car my friend from Diamond View and I would drive to the Weirs and work Big John's for breakfast/lunch. After a few hour break I would then walk to the Tell to work dinner.

Fond memories of those years!
