This Trip

Sylvia Goldberg

I met Stanley at the Tamarack Hotel in the summer. It was a very pretty place; they took care of it beautifully. The Tamarack was set up more like a motel – you just drove right up to your rooms. They had bungalows too. There were all sorts of outdoor activities – tennis, shuffleboard, ping pong – and a lot of other things happening on the premises. There was a pool. The hotel had an entire program with meals, dancing and entertainment. The food was delicious. There was always too much to eat and always a lot of choices at every meal. We had a great time. I miss going to those great hotels.

This trip – when I met Stanley -- dates back some time ago. I went with my friends on a Y trip. Stanley came over to me at a dance. He’s as good a dancer as I am. We seemed to click with our conversation and just melded into a nice long relationship – more than 10 years ago….maybe 15 years ago. I didn’t know I was going to meet someone but you never know. You hope for the best. We’re still going together. The rest is history.
