My D...I lived in Smoke Rise when all this happened. My Dad was on the membership board and I can remember him coming home distraught over the initial decision not to allow this family in to the club. We are Irish Catholics and there was a time that we would not have been allowed membership. As it turns out my younger brother was the one that found the little girl, did the original CPR and was affected by it the rest of his life. Many of us felt that this ended up being a huge turning point for Smoke Rise. The Jewish family was embraced but at a cost that couldn't possibly be measured. It was a devastating time and to this day I have thought about it an told the very sad story to others. <br /><br />I grew up in a wonderful place. I think of my teen years as magical. I fell deeply in love there for the first time and I formed wonderful friendships, some that still exist today.<br /><br />Obviously after the previous story has been told Smoke Rise was not perfect but to me, my family and my friends it was awfully close. <br /><br />Kathleen EwaldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-943966772244981912.post-11804695879339645412011-03-28T00:48:57.661-04:002011-03-28T00:48:57.661-04:00Thanks for the encouragement guys!

Very strange situation, I do not remember anyone else drowning in the lake. I was going into my senior year at KHS. Your details are wonderful. What I did not know was the side story of Soupy Sales. I was unaware he tried to enter the gates of "THE RISE" back then. I loved Soupy Sales, believe he was on channel 5 (only had what? about 6 TV stations back then). I was sad when when he passed a year or so ago. I can certainly identify with WABC AM770....right now I am listening to Cousin Brucie's Saturday Night Party on XM6....yes he is still rockin and rollin.<br />HOF/Herb Fisher Mtn.
