The plan is a simple one: At four locations around Lake George, construct four small pavilions where walkers can pause while circumnavigating along the shoreline. It turns out to be more complicated than expected. Constructing deep concrete pilings a few feet off shore requires building a temporary dike with sandbags, pump out the water where the pilings will be placed, then remove the dike. So far workers have been unable to build a leakproof dike. Unlike many river towns, St. Cloud is perched high above the Mississippi River, thus inexperienced in dike building. We are learning this week, however.

In the waning years of WW II, we were living in Rockville Center, Long Island, I was about 12 and dad was dying of a brain tumor. Mom said NYC was no place for a widow to bring up a child, so she packed us up and we took a train to her childhood home in Detroit Lakes Minnesota. That's where she met and married this widower. He was a clothing salesman and outdoorsman.
