Catherine
and Betty Lou Lukenda have a fighting friendship most of the time!
Bill Kelly rounds the Point in his powerboat, just cruising until he sees the Daley’s small launch almost at water level, heads of teenagers packed close. His son Mike is sitting on the side, another boy the same size balancing on the other side. He makes a swift turn in his boat,” what the hell do you think you are doing trying to drown someone Mike? You know better! How many life preservers do you have five? Alright seven of you come in this boat! So seven, including the embarrassed Mike, crossed into the Kelly's launch!
Towards the end of the season the kids get
careless and Bill has seen too many accidents from the receiving entrance in
emergency at the hospital, to take any chances.
Bill’s mother is visiting from Ottawa; she
always wears pretty flowered dresses and petaled hats even for an afternoon at
camp. Bill always don's shirt and tie, and sports coat to drive her into town. Nice
to see the “cantankerous surgeon” becomes the small boy on the escort, on best
behaviors for his smiling mother.
