Assembling the Team.

Good news!  Miss Mabel Mabel Knot will now be bringing in lemon bars each Thursday, help yourself at the reception desk.  Mabel would like to suggest wiping your fingers with a moist towelette before touching any of the materials in the archives.

In more good news, Mabel has made some more progress in scanning book pages for the online archive for Rose Lake Park.  She has also stumbled upon some brand new (to us) photos to help fill in the story of this wondrous place.






Mabel noted that Mr. Marvel appears to be wearing some sort of flambuoyant hat in most photos she has found, and Mr. Taureau is never to be seen without a top hat, even whilst otherwise nude.  She also observed that she is having great difficulty in locating photos of Mr. Bruin wearing any clothing whatsoever.

She believes this photo may have been taken on the day of a known urban legend in the area, that on said day the men were brutally assaulted by a territorial beaver, thus traumatizing them to great extent and causing them never to bathe near this dam again.   This may have been the inspiration for the bathhouse that was erected shortly thereafter on the nearby beach.




Photo possibly out of sequence, the boarding house was actually constructed under the guise of Edna Mae, Jr. whose story is still being researched at this point.





Upon several instances of confusion amongst the camp clientelle with a dangerous wild animal, Mother Bruin did eventually insist that her son wear clothing whilst running errands for her in the lumber camp.

So far Mabel Mabel has had some difficulty locating additional photos of Edna Mae Sr., but she does believe the task will prove more productive once we reach the invention of the wide-angle camera lens.
