Photos from Eileen's Photo Scrapbook:

Sent these photos to Erna Lund; she added (Feb 2005 letters) names and comments (see below photo):

Eileen is in front, of course, and Edith Lund right over her shoulder. [I knew these!]
Erna Lund is far right, behind the guy in overalls. Beside her, hand on chin, is Edith Parker. Lady on left, behind the other guy, is Irene Anderson, and, next to her is Helen Jensen. Erna does not name the girls in middle in back, has marked P but it must be Olive Jean, whoever she is. [A puzzle to solve!]

Erna said this relative to the guys:

"And the fellows were just guys we met over there. They had a boat and took us for rides! Not a fancy cabin, but fun!"

Erna's comment on Spring Lake:

"This is at "Spring Lake" near Jefferson. There were little cabins to rent - and a nice dance hall there we enjoyed - No air conditioning but they could open up some places on the sides for air." ..."I don't think there's even a lake there anymore." [True; it is on Natural Resources map, but not open to public any more, it seems]

Erna also added, generally:

"One summer a bunch of us girls rented a cabin for a few days - Had to be there on dance nite! They had good music - Big orchestras!"
