1951 LAKESIDE: AHH, THE MEMORY LINGERS!


THE ARRIVAL OF THE FIRST HEAT WAVE OF THE 2001 SUMMER SEASON GOT ME THINKING ABOUT THAT ONCE POPULAR AREA OF HAMILTON WE ALL GREW TO KNOW AND LOVE: GROPP'S LAKE, AKA LAKESIDE PARK. ONE OF THE MORE TREASURED MEMORIES WHICH LINGER IN MY 74 GOING ON 75 YEAR OLD BRAIN IS THE BEACH PARTY OUR HAMILTON HIGH CHOIR ORGANIZED IN JUNE, 1951. THE GRAPHIC IS PART ONE OF A TWO PART GROPP'S LAKE ARTICLE I WROTE FOR THE LATE, GREAT "MERCER MESSENGER." IT BRINGS BACK BITTERSWEET MEMORIES.
