This morning started off a bit cloudy, but the sun is out now and the temperature is climbing, so it's going to be one more nice day for folks at Joe's Pond - before the clouds and showers arrive.
Fred and I broke free of our computers for a little while yesterday afternoon and spent some time at camp with the kids and grands. Bill finally got his "woodie" in the water, and it's running pretty nice. He bought the Laperle Chris Craft many years ago and restored it. It's a 1934, and I love seeing it in the water. We all had fun with "Young America," as Uncle Cliff Belknap was fond of calling any children around, and of course we took pictures.
On Friday, I met the president of the Danville Historical Society, Patty Conley, for lunch at Butters in Cabot. I had known her parents, Lorraine and Seldon Houghton, and we had shared information in e-mails, so meeting her in person was a real pleasure. We hardly had time to eat for talking. We were both happily surprised when Dick and Eleanor Spaulding came in for lunch. Patty and her parents had spent wonderful times with Dick in his Walbridge School, where Seldon had gone to school as a young boy. Seldon also lived in West Danville for a while, and later of course in Danville where he was with the Caledonia National Bank for many years. Dick and Eleanor are great friends and neighbors on Cabot Plain, and I always enjoy seeing them.
Patty knows Stan Linkovich and his wife, Kathy (Sevigny), owners of Butters Restaurant, and that made our lunch even more fun. I've known Kathy her whole life as well as her parents, grandparents, and a few other Sevigny family members over the years, and now know Stan a little from having gone to the restaurant a few times. We both enjoyed the food as well as the friendly atmosphere. I had a wrap with lots of chicken and veggies, and a pile of really good hand-cut french fries. There was more than I had time to eat, so I brought some home so Fred could enjoy it, too.
Patty and I spent the rest of the afternoon at the Cabot Historical Society building with Bonnie Dannenberg, going through albums, and sharing information. It was very nice meeting Patty, and we will be collaborating in the future, sharing information to benefit both historical societies.
