My first job was in 1964 when I was 12 years old. I worked at a place called Coach Lantern Terrace. It was located on Eagle Shore Road (near Black Cat Island). I cleaned cabins and provided clean towels to the renters. When I finished that work I would clean the owners' house and iron clothes. I made $1.00 an hour. I then worked several years at Anderson's Bakery in Center Harbor. The following years I worked at the Big Banana in Gilford, Interlakes Dairy Bar in Meredith, Hart's Turkey Farm in Meredith, and the Corner House Inn in Center Sandwich. Every job was great fun and a good way to meet other teenagers from all over the lake. THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!!
