Chapter 3: Flathead Lake

My only memories of a 1953 family summer vacation are through these slides. We visited the brand-new Hungry Horse Dam, spent some time at a Bible Camp (which apparently is still in business), and drove through Glacier National Park on the return trip to Great Falls.

In this first photo, I pose with my bathing-beauty Mom.   The only question I have :  Where is my 14-month-old brother Larry?  Maybe the camp offered a nursery?

While Mom stares off into the distance and soaks up some sun, I intently study the contents of a plastic glass.  Minnows?  (If you look closely, you'll note I'm holding two glasses.). 

Flathead Lake.  The bluest of blue water.
