1960 we visited Go Home to see my Uncle’s cottage being built. My Dad walked to the lot next door and no building was in place. The property was purchased at the auction with the condition a cottage had to be erected in 2 years. Dad wrote the owner who had changed his plans and was going to let the lot revert to the Crown. Dad offered to put up a cottage and then take title. Acting on good faith, Joe Bolyea erected the cottage late 1960 and the property was then conveyed to my Dad and Mom. My brother and sister and I grew up on the lake as have our 3 girls and now our 5 grandchildren. My mother plans to celebrate her 96th birthday at Go Home this August. When our neighbours in the city see us heading north early May we just tell them we are “going home”.
