On Monday night August 7, the town of Indian Lake threw a wonderful party for myself, my wife Dr Harriet Busch, and the new physician in Indian Lake, Dr. Ryan Donnelly. The output of sincere affection and appreciation is something I will gratefully carry with me for the rest of my life, as I leave a wonderful medical career behind for a new lease on life. Dr Donnelly was given a very warm welcome and several Indian Lakers had wonderful things to say about him after seeing him as their new doctor. I was too busy greeting and hugging people to take many pictures!! I took a quick panorama as I was giving a slide show, with the projector causing a vertical blue beam that made several people look like they were beaming up to the Enterprise!! I wish the best of luck to Dr Donnelly and the people of Indian Lake!!
The next night on August 8, I participated in Author's Night at Hoss's Country Corner, the iconic general store in the heart of the Adirondack Park. It was a beautiful night with a full moon and a great time was had. I sat next to Phil Brown, visited with great authors like Nancy Best, Ed Kanze, Carol Gregson, and listened to the genuine Adirondack folksinger and fellow member of the League of Extraordinary Adirondack Gentlemen, Dan Berggren.
