Along with the memories. If you had money you probably wouldn't remember the hotels and the meals...only the visit. It goes a long way toward eliminating wealth resentment.<br /><br />-DBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-1442461715119719612009-10-01T12:30:53.853-04:002009-10-01T12:30:53.853-04:00zz- A great area and at one time a little off the ...zz- A great area and at one time a little off the reservation. Summer Haven is a beautiful place.<br /><br />Anon 9:32- "Don't touch the hat. Don't ever touch the hat." John 'Vicki' Johnson - Alcatraz Ranger<br /><br /><br />Prepp 101- Oh yeah, you hit the historian perfectly. In his defense, I always thought - he thought - it was authentic. That he'd buy an obvious replica speaks to some bigger issues. <br /><br />anon 12:50 I've been to a couple parks in B.C. and they were amazing. Damn Canadians. They get all the good stuff. Great parks, Labatts Blue, Tim Hortons and national health care. It's so unfair. <br /><br />M Lane- Thanks and I still have your BOOK. <br /><br />Blushing- Everything has it's place. Including Fanny Green.<br /><br />Beth- It's a beautiful area. There was a little restaurant and tavern a few miles west of Lord Stirlings. It was on a curve and parking was in a tiny lot across the street. Next to the Fitzwater Station (then - not today) in Phoenixville, it was a favorite.<br /><br />ADG- You won't be impressed when I tell you how the 'Ranger' thing worked with women on the Main Line and in Manhattan. <br /><br />Paul- Bingo.<br /><br />Anon 11:30 - Yes, I mean no. I mean, they're hard to get. I was told many times, when I complained about how the NPS did some things, that if I didn't like it there were 20 people waiting for my job. I hope that's not how management is today but I kinda doubt it.tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-69011805833153836772009-10-01T11:30:38.706-04:002009-10-01T11:30:38.706-04:00National park jobs are hard to get, no?National park jobs are hard to get, no?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-65535704511868987622009-10-01T08:00:52.516-04:002009-10-01T08:00:52.516-04:00Great story - sometimes I think memories are what ...Great story - sometimes I think memories are what bring us back to sanity when we're beat to death by work and our surroundings.Paulhttp://sorrentolens.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-15029496597106534242009-09-30T21:40:01.207-04:002009-09-30T21:40:01.207-04:00The making of money and memories of unique homes. ...The making of money and memories of unique homes.

Was he one of those staid, proper, snobby historians? I have to chuckle at that event.
