Hi:
My family use to rent cottages from Lewis & Gladys Veasey for many years.
Lew use to own all the cottages that where in the cove. They are now all sold off seperatly. Lew & Gladys use to live in the old house on Veasey Road until they sold it and moved down by the lake where the cottages were.
They had 8 cottages all lined around the sandy cove.
At the end of the road there use to be a cottage with a boat house under it and that was always called Fitcans (sp)
Lew told me that the town was going to name the road, Fitcans road, but because his father and mother lived there many years before they agreed to call it Veasey Shore Road.
My mother & father spent thier honeymoon there and got to be good freinds with Lew & Gladys. They where married in July 1933.
The first time I went there I was still inside my mother! So I was told! I don't remember! hahaha
We spent every summer vacation up there until the property was sold and Lew & Gladys moved to the channel between Big and Little Sqam.
I use to visit Lew & Gladys until they both passes away.
They where good freinds and I do miss them!
They told me lots of stories but it would take to long to tell them all.
Have a good day.
