Pine Terrace

They called their well booked cottages, Pine Terrace. During 2 summers I spent with Aunt Jean, she instilled values in me that I took into manhood.

My Aunt Jean and Uncle Don bought a beautiful home, sometime in the mid 1950’s, on a hillside overlooking Lake George in Diamond Point. The property had 3 housekeeping cottages, all with fine views. I spent 2 summers – pretty sure I was going into 7th and 8th grade – with them and my 4 younger cousins, Kurt, Kris, Karl and newborn Kevin.

The work wasn’t too hard, what young lad doesn’t love a riding lawn mower at that age? Nearly every nice day, which was most, the older 3 boys and I would head across the road and down to the Antler’s Hotel. Jean and Don had beach rights.
