The above 3 pictures are from Gifford lake about 1938 .This is my grandfather Paul Veniger in front of the cottage that is still standing and has been joined by the cottage next door that use to be own by Emmet Mc Mullen. there neighbor were Andy Marton and now his daughter and her husband Ralph and Mary Ann Schneider vacation there with there sons. the young girl is Barbara Veniger Marble. Check out the fish .from the stories I was told you could catch dinner in 15 minutes back when there where only 4 cottages up there. My grandfather could have bought the whole lake for $500 back then and since we were coming out of a depression money was tight and he thought it was to risky. ~Paul Paul also reminisces:
my mother started going up there back in 1938 as
a kid , as a teenager and an adult I was sad that we had to sell since
our family one of the first on the lake. Andy martin daughter many ann.
is still going up to the cottage and splits the time with her 2 sons,our
cottage and the one next door the new owners combined the 2 and I heard
its for sale. p.s I sure miss blue moon
