Helping out in the restaurant. I am talking about the late 1950’s, 1960’s and into the 70’s. I can remember one time in particular being in the kitchen and Uncle Frank walks in with this gruff speaking gentleman. He said I want you to meet my nephew from Connecticut! He bopped me on the head and said hi there young fella! It was Phil Harris! Many fond memories of Masten Lake, Lake Louise Marie and the resorts where we went horseback riding and skiing at Holiday Hill. Thank you for the memories! Anthony M.

I used to love the stories that people would tell of how much the restaurant meant to them. I now own Bernie's Holiday Restaurant in Rock Hill and we still serve the Dodge Inn Steak on the menu and it's still our best seller.

She turned me onto your blog, after we realized we are both sarcastic bitches, she thought I'd appreciate your story telling, which I do. I'm originally from NY and live in Tucson, for about 8 years now. I totally agree about the heat thing, what are these people nuts, it's freakin 75 degrees out, I have my windows open for god's sake. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, keep up the good work. Happy Holidays!
