one in the 1970's....
not to be morbid, but several times this cold, dreary, Memorial Day weekend, my mind drifted back to a similarly cold, rainy Memorial Day weekend sometime in the 1970's...I think it might have been 1975-ish...I was 12 or 13. There was a terrible accident on the lake. Folks were in a speedboat at night...I think it was a big Cigarette boat, but I'm not sure...that was the generic term used anyway. It was a cold, rainy night on Memorial Day weekend and the boat came way too close to shore, going way too fast, and went airborne into a cottage.
That's about all I remember....maybe those of you that are a bit older than me that were adults at the time might remember more. I remember my parents and other adults being very shaken up at the time.
