celeb visits to Winnipesaukee

Way back when I was a counsellor at Camp Idlewild, a friend and I had a small outboard skiff and we spent a day off putting around the lake. We forgot only one thing - refilling the fuel tank! We ran out of gas next to Nipple Rock. After about a half hour trying to flag down some help, we finally got some from a very nice, old woody with around 8 folks on board. They towed us into Silver Sands. Upon thanking them, we finally got a good look at who was aboard - the cast at the Playhouse including Myrna Loi. We were so surprised that we didn't even think of getting autographs. We got gas and continued our explorings.

OP:

I googled "Sophia Loren Winnipesaukee" and got a couple hits which both referred to her being in / visiting Wolfeboro.
