A Very Special Tip O’ The Hat!

To
Pat & Frank Gullion
This couple works tirelessly in our kitchen, turning out meals on
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and for Sunday Break-
fasts. Most days you will find them at the lodge either preparing
or serving meals. As Pat says “Any day we’re at the lodge, the
kitchen is open.” What dedication! And let’s not forget Rose Dal-
ton who also takes her regular turn in the kitchen.
