I remember when we were kids spending summers with our grandma (Ella Lueders) at the Sliver lake tavern going out in the woods looking for snapping turtles in the creek behind the tavern. Saturday nights looking out the window on the second floor as people from all around coming to the dance pavilion. Big name bands from as far away as Chicago would play. We never kept in touch when I joined the Navy but after I retired now and then we managed to visit Seone and Maury. May her memory be eternal.
