Mark your calendar for Tuesday, August 6th from 1-4 PM at the Hamilton Township Public Library. Ms. Eleanor Goldy Guear and Ms. Nancy Johnes Fell are two historians whose families were pioneer settlers in Lakeside Park. These two talented ladies will be presenting an incredibly interesting program inviting residents of Lakeside Park along with those of us who have an abiding interest in this incredible neighborhood which is nestled along Gropp's Lake, or as we called it, "Lakeside." My last "Sentimental Journey" column in the Times recalled our Hamilton High choir beach party as we said our sad goodbyes and headed out on our respective careers. I am still getting comments on that column, most of them fondly recalling the wonderful years they spent on the sandy beach of spring fed Lakeside.
THERE WILL BE FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS AUGUST EVENT AS RECEIVED AND I WILL BE SURE TO POST THEM HERE ON
"LOCAL HISTORY WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH."

ReplyDeleteWhat I remember most about the "lake" was the time a few of us boys from the "broad street park" gang with Bill Newton,ken Munn and Pat Mcgargile snuck in under the bridge to avoid paying the fare which I think was a quarter. I,m not a great swimmer and I almost didn,t make it. Hamilton township rowdies.

I do remember this.........People whom I always thought of as Aunt Pearl and Uncle Ray Applegate....( not at all related but dear lifelong friends of my grandparents Ross and Laura Carter). They lived there I know in the 40's and 50's....Our parents took us to visit..and oh how we loved it there..........
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tom, for the publicity about the Lakeside Reunion in August. Hopefully many will see this and plan to attend.
