| Thu Feb 02, 2012 19:29:30 Marilynn Ramsay Roswell, NM  | I was born in Wilkes-Barre, PA and spent many fun times at Harvey's Lake as a child. My memories could fill a book and this website has just enhanced them. Thanks so much. | ||
| Mon Jan 23, 2012 23:52:14 Joserph Lerner Cookeville, Tennessee | I was born in Wilkes-Barre and lived in Plymiuth until the mines folded. Moved to New Brunswick, NJ in 1956; graduated Rutgers; was dean of Arts & Sciences at Tennessee Tech Univ until retired. Harvey's Lake brings back wonderful memories of childhood. The sandy beaches; the cool evenings; the great friends--we played all day and into the evenings. It's so sad that the older generation is gone. Now it all exists in my memory; my grandchildren don't have any interest in seeing the lake! They have their own frontiers. I still have friends in the area like Carol who lives at the lake. We just had a reunion birthday party of kids that went to Plymouth schools that don't exist anymore. The party was for us 70-year olds. | ||

more info and pics
from Camp Wildwood.
I attended Girl
Scout Camp there in
1969  . 2012 is
the 100th
Anniversary of Girl

love to talk to
other girls who
went to camp there. | ||
| Mon Dec 26, 2011 13:41:52 Grant Besser Colorado | I have three pictures of the Weckesser house on the lake and would love to send scanned pictures - they were acquired recently when I bought a house in Colorado that was originally Anna Hammond brothers house (wife of Frederick Jacob Weckesser) | ||

| Wed Oct 26, 2011 11:28:16 Pat McGuiness Concord CA | Coming from
California to
Harvey's Lake where
my Fathers family
had summer homes
was so fun as a
child. I
discovered my love
for bumper cars and
rode them
constantly! I'm
looking for someone
who rode horses
there with my
father, her name
was Patsy
Whiteknight not
sure if spelling is
correct. I was
disappointed to
read the bumbper
cars are gone  | ||
| Mon Oct 17, 2011 11:55:33 David Polifko San Francisco | Thanks for the work putting this website together. My grandfather was Charles "Chick" Randall who was murdered at Sugar Hollow. I've done research over the years and was pleased to see the information here. Thanks! If anyone has anything else about him, his family (the Randalls) I would be grateful to see it. Thanks - Dave | ||
| Sun Sep 25, 2011 18:29:17 Marguerite Arnone Walton Pittston/Los Angeles | Whoops! Sorry, meant Artie Shaw. I have many special memories of Harvey's Lake as a child. My uncle owned the boat rides and other property there. It was a wonderful place to go as a child and will always have good memories. | ||
| Sun Sep 25, 2011 18:18:15 Marguerite Arnone Walton Pittston-born/Los Angeles, Cal | Love the website! Thank you for the history you provide on your website. I was able to see pictures and posters of Fern Brook Park and Dance Hall where my mother and father danced to big bands in the 30's! Got to see posters of those bands that they've talked about, Paul Whiteman, Ernie Shaw and was glad to see Ozzie Nelson also there back then. | ||

appreciated | ||
| Fri Sep 09, 2011 08:39:03 Ken Schwall Tennessee | Enjoyed the site. I often heard my dad, Carl Schwall, talk about the hot dog stand he and Harry Powell operated at Harvey's Lake back in the 1920's. | ||

from Wilkes Barre
and both
grandparents had
homes at Harveys
Lake; one up the
street from Sandy
Beach and the other
had a summer
cottage near Warden
Place. We sent
every summer there
and enjoyed fishing
and the amusement
park. It was a
great time and
these pictures
bring back many
memories. | ||
| Tue Aug 30, 2011 18:08:42 Marlene Harrisburg area | I was born in the 1950's and we had a boat when I was growing up.. We spent several boating vacations at Harvey's Lake and we stayed at a very beautiful old hotel (I CANNOT remember the name of it no matter how hard I try) with long porches and in the dining room you were served family style. I am sure it was one of the two hotels mentioned in the site--perhaps the one where the chicken dinners were famous :-) I never forgot Harveys Lake and the great times with my parents there. I was hoping to take my family there for an extended weekend... Sad to think its not like it was.. but it still has to be as beautiful as I remember. I LOVED this website.. The history of Harvey Lake was very very interesting! | ||

| Mon Aug 08, 2011 13:06:29 Renee Warner Canandaigua, NY | My parents, 2 sisters & I spent time @ grandparent' (Peterman)'s cabin on a wooded hillside. We enjoyed it so much & swimming in the lake. We were warned about the dreaded drop-off. This was in the late 40's - early 50's when time was slower. We got drinking water from a spring, light from akerosene lamp & experienced a privy. We were from a small town Attica, NY which no-one had heard of back then. Happy times for us @ H.L. |
