Betty! Is that you?

Betty Larson Butcher and Bobby Watson are pulling out all the stops for their Aug. 20 Pontoon Palooza on Lake Darling. It's planned as a warm-up for anybody looking for fun on the Friday afternoon before the reunion. Bob has rented the big pontoon from Arrowwood and so they're ready for some serious partying on the water. Don't miss it.
No, this is not a picture of Bobby and Betty's caterers getting ready to host the Class of  '65. Remember, their event is BYOB. This picture is actually one of many being circulated by Tom Obert featuring bygone days of lakeside celebrations and summer fun in the Alexandria area, this one at the Geneva Beach Hotel.
It's a tradition Betty and Bob are carrying on.
Don't know how to get to Watson's lake cottage?
Go past the Bug-a-boo to the Indian Mounds corner and then go straight over the Darling/Carlos bridge to Casa Marina Road. Turn left, go to 3421. Three yellow cabins. Arrive anytime in the afternoon. Lasts until 8 p.m.??? Weather permitting, Tom Obert hopes to add his pontoon to the Armada for some fun on the waves. Come along.
