I will post some old pix if I can find some, some day. To further expound on the story ... My Mom and step dad married about a year after my father died. Step Dad's wife died within a week of my dad passing away. My step dad's wife and my Mom were schoolmates back to kindergarten. My grandparents summer homes were 10 lots apart on Ottertail Lake. My now Step Dad's lake house is the 5th house between the two. Step dad and his family would spend summers there and as kids, his kids and my brothers and I, all played and skied every summer up through and into high school every summer. In 1971, my Dad was working for the Local marina, Dunker's Marine. My Dad sold Alec this boat ... I delivered the boat (drove it across the lake) at the age of 8 years old in the spring of 1971.
I would love to keep the boat. But, at the age of 52, my Mother said "The hell you will! You already have too many boats!"
