Perry arrived early, leveling transit in truck. Using that high-tech device, he, Tasi, and I established the marks on each concrete column form that show the level to which the concrete will be poured. If the concrete is poured, vibrated, and smoothed off correctly (fingers and toes all crossed), the tops of the piers will make a perfectly level rectangle exactly 20 feet long by 12 feet wide. Side bets, anyone???? When the leveling was done, Perry went away with a load of prime Fern Lake firewood, returning a couple of hours later with Lynne. In the interim, Alverta, Frank & Fran Tarrio (Chree's parents), and Ann Swanson (Chree's younger sister) arrived and repaired to the dock for sunning, swimming, and canoeing. A mid-afternoon picnic lunch / dinner followed, cooked over the open fire. Then everyone except the Designated Bottle Purifier went to the Salisbury Congregational Church for ice cream sundaes. Dueling fireworks over Lake Dunmore at dusk, viewed from the Waterhouse Marina dock across the road from Lynne’s office. As another example of the small world syndrome, met a gentleman there (Preston Turner) who was on the Burlington High School cross-country running team with me many, many decades ago.
