Peter Brown and Brian Tapley. This 1910 postcard does indeed picture Peninsula Lake looking across to the original Deerhurst. The ship is the Algonquin.

That’s Santa!

Yes, aka Ray Porter!
Brian Tapley says
Ray Porter
A fair and reasonable meter guy!
Yes, he gave me a few tickets over the years but he was always there with a friendly comment and you can bet that if he did give you a ticket…. well you deserved it!
A really great guy!
