The newly formed June Lake Loop Historical Society held its first General Annual Meeting on August 6 at the June Lake Community Center. About thirty interested persons were in attendance as President Dan Roberts gave a welcome address and a brief overview of the origins of the June Lake community. The program consisted of Ron Dunn, longtime summer resident at Silver Lake, who gave a talk on his experiences in the 1940's when there was gambling in June Lake and he and his father were the operators of a slot machine business. Then Igor Vorobyoff spoke about the natural history of the area. Several individuals joined the Society as members and there were some displays of old photos and artifacts, including a mounted Steelhead Trout caught in the twenties by renowned area photographer Burton Frasher. The evening ended with refreshments and sharing of many stories of the past by the participants.

This is very exciting! A historical society. We go back to the fortys, my uncle Marshall Berryman and Aunt Elsie were there with Marshalls boat landing, on June Lake.
The Berrymans were all there: Uncle Hess and Aunt Margie spent honey moon in one of the Camp Carson cabins. My parents Lloyd and Lorna owned houses on Silver Lake tract. And a bunch of us continue to return, with some still living there! I have some history from Marshalls Boat Landing days I can gather and donate.
Lee, send me your email, or join me on FaceBook.
