Want to record an oral history of Kingsley? 
    Have you heard about the StoryCorps project, or read the book: Listening Is an Act of Love: A Celebration of American Life from the StoryCorps Project...? Here’s a link to the book at Amazon where you can read some reviews. It’s an inspiring project, and it could be great to create our own small version of it here at Kingsley. I’m gathering a small team who could help provide some structure and technical assistance for the recordings, if you will simply provide the people to interview. StoryCorps usually provides a facility, recording equipment and a facilitator, then waits for people to invite loved ones, friends, grandparents to sit down for a 40-minute session -- which is similar to how our system might work. To get this rolling please just send me a note and we’ll start talking! -C. (12/1/07)

former ‘Home Page’ photos 
    In case you missed ’em first time round, we’ll collect photos that once appeared on our Home page, and make them available for review, HERE. It’s not up to date at the moment, but we’ll try to fill in most of the gaps soon. If you have some great lake photos please let us know!

History of Kingsley Lake 
    We want to build a factual history of the lake (linked from Facts page too). Click here to read what we've found so far, and please write if you have more details.

Old photos of Kingsley 
    John Maines and Clark Thomas found some old photo postcards of the lake on eBay. They both seem to have been made by the same photographer, and of the same dock, although Clark's is postmarked 1948 and John's, 1910. Anybody know who the photographer might have been, or which dock is in the photo? The dock in the lower (more recent) photo is also in the upper photo, but it's hidden behind the tree branch.
