That Devastating Fire at Barber Pole Road?

This is new construction, that just turned up on the Web.



I was shocked to see this was the very same location as I'd discussed the noisy boats topic with the owner—a Senior Citizen (or an adult Citizen—if they're reading this).

I had only drifted over to photograph their boat. It's typical of older fiberglass boats that are painted red to fade or discolor to an extreme. We'd had a discussion about Barber Pole efforts to limit noisy boats—and the out-of-control effects such boats have brought to the lake.

Carl Hansen is building it and it will almost exactly like it did before. She died in the fire. He is I think in his 80s but is determined to rebuild. Good for him!!

I'm very sorry to learn that: it was she with whom I was conversing.


Is this the same family from just above Melvin Village's Pine Cone Restaurant?

A pilot who dedicated a granite monument to Merwin Horn—that's still standing at "Wolfeboro's Little Airport"?

I don't know. I believe either he or her father or both maybe were professors.
