Those pictures bring memories flooding back of celebratory dinners after graduations and graduate seminars successfully survived, and birthdays and club events which a certain large national sailing club celebrated there. The food has been uneven but they once served things like Connecticut River shad and shad roe and once in a while venison and other "hunt" style fair. And then there are the occasional sea shanties performed in the bar. Thanks for the post about one of my favorite places.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-59734526985513439192023-04-19T10:23:21.283-04:002023-04-19T10:23:21.283-04:00Met Joan Paul recently.
