Mark,
Great old picture. I'm assuming this is from Walloon Lake.
Ace Sr. told me about a hunting lodge on several acres he bought for his friends to hunt on up north. Do you know anything about it? When Sr. was in his 90's he had already given up driving. He told me he was upset he had no one to go with. Even though I was not a hunter. I sometimes regret I never volunteered to take him one last time.
Eric

Eric,

Yep, your assumption is correct, the picture was taken at Walloon Lake. These pictures were shared by a friend of mine Matt Figurski. Matt's father, Donald worked at Royal back in the day. Matt tells me he and his family spent a lot of time with Ace up at Walloon lake.
I wasnt personally involved, I'm just sharing on Matt's behalf.
Might have another picture to share as well.

Mark

This is a shot of Ace's place at Walloon Lake from the outside...

Mark,
Thanks for posting the pictures from up north. It is amazing what a little "milk" money can buy you! LOL (Now this will be food for thought for some of you guys, "Milk money"?)
