A 2006 reunion with a childhood vacation lodge in eastern Oklahoma.
In October 2006 I got to do something which had been on my mind for many years -- to re-visit Erma Snyder's Lodge back in Oklahoma. In the late 40s and early 50s (probably from age 5 to 10 for me) our family was able to go to Erma's Lodge, the great retreat she built during the depression in the hills east of Heavener, near the Arkansas border. We probably usually went with family friends, the Swains, on most occasions. My memories of the place are so very vivid. .
