The Club House at Broomall's Lake. The luncheon after Nate's funeral was held here. Jan's house is just beyond the trees. My uncle, his brother, and his father-in-law built the house. My father helped with the electrical work. That was over sixty years ago.

I would stay at my aunt and uncle's in the summer and we would walk down the path to the lake and swim. I could only doggie paddle the first time I went there. We would swim from raft to raft and I learned to swim quickly when I knew I couldn't touch bottom. We also ice skated on the lake in the winter. My Uncle Bud was a terrific ice skater. Roy Shipstead want him for the Ice Follies but it was during the Great Depression and Bud was head of he household and had to work to support the family. He didn't have the time to practice and travel with the Follies. He picked out the site next to the lake to build their house.
