Memories of youth well spent

I have often wondered how many people remember summers at Linder Lake in Houston, Texas, and if any of you would actively look to find anything on the internet about it. If you don't remember me, my parents owned Linder Lake until its demise in the late 1960's. It was a part of my childhood which has never left me and, since my birthday was yesterday and we are all getting older, I was reminiscing about the good times we had there.

To get the ball rolling, I remember working the concession stand and counting the minutes until I could jump in that cold, clear water. I also remember playing keep-away for hours when the pool was not crowded. I remember youthful crushes, falling for all the lifeguards at one time or another, listening to the songs that are now oldies on a transistor radio poolside, and shared kisses stolen underwater.

I hope anyone who reads this blog will at least post their memories here or even e-mail me at my contact address.
