This is very sad news. Martha was a gem. She had that special way of making you feel welcome and comfortable. She always put me at ease. I always enjoyed our conversations. I am sad for her and your family and I will miss her.

Maybe one of the Wiiks can answer this question. Kenny Carlson read about Martha in the newspaper. (Kenny was the oldest of Gene and Ronnie's kids). I still camp with him and his family in NH - not bad seeing that it has been over 45 years of camping together. Anyways, did she camp on the field along the water? If so, I have an old slide of her husband shaving with a battery operated shaver. It was a new invention in the early '60s and my father must have been amazed. Thanks.

No Ann, they camped on the dead end, off to the left of the beach.

Imagine, a cordless shaver! What will they think of next. It sure is amazing how far technology has come. Can you imagine what they would have thought about cell phones. Oh, life used to be so simple and uncomplicated. Smile
