Gerri,
I read with great interest, the intriguing obit of your husband's uncle. He must of been a very interesting man. I used to spend some time at Bear Skin Neck back in the 70's; however I don't remember seeing your uncle's place. I spent a weekend with a friend to study for a college exam and I think we did more fun stuff than studying. Anyway, after that, I would take my mother on a yearly trip to Glouscester and ultimately end up at Bear Skin Neck. It's a great area and in reading about Bill's uncle, my interest is rekindled. It was wonderful talking to you recently about our class reunion and I do hope you and Bill can be there.
Love, Joanne Fox
