      Thank you Larry, Doug was great guy and served three tours in Vietnam. I did a little research and I think his brother Del lives in Colorado. It is nice, you have those family memories.

      Larry, I will be in St.Paul on Saturday. I thought of coming to Pine River to see , if I could find the old resort.

    I was 12 years old and worked at Camp Sho Me during the summer of 1963. I was from Skokie, Illinois and my father had been old friends of the Burke’s in Chicago. Me and Doug slept in the old lodge and I remember the two dogs Nipper and Rastus. Doug was a diver and often he was in the surrounding lakes looking for old artifacts.
