Lake Lawn Lodge, Delavan, 1955


The McIntyres spent most summers at Lake Lawn Lodge, Delavan, Wisconsin. The cottages had electric meters which you had to put quarters into to keep the lights on. The "kitchen," which was really the screened porch, had an icebox and a two-burner hot plate. The cottages had toilets and cold running water, but if you wanted to take a shower, you had to go to the "shower house." Larry Sr. would rent a speed boat and take everyone out on the water.  He could stay out all day long.  Despite his pale Irish skin, Larry Sr., could acquire the deepest tan imaginable by the end of the vacation.  We all loved the place.  Larry Sr., Elaine and Larry, Jr., 1955.
