In 1957 we spent a 3 day a weekend at the Holiday Hills YMCA Center down north in Pawling. This was so great that during the summers of 1958, 1959 and 1960 we spent two-week vacations at Holiday Hills.
Mom’s Story: "On a trip up in the spring of 1969, with Bill home from college, we decided to see if we could cut down an embankment to make a driveway into our property. Starting at a gap in the stonewall, digging began with only a shovel and pick mattock. Fortunately, the earth was soft and there were no large rocks or trees at that point." "Eureka!" "August 8, 1971, work started at 8 a.m. and you were finished about 5 p.m. except for roof shingles. The finished product was on 10'x15', but oh! So cozy!"
But, 66 years in summer 2013, renters. Sad!
