>Does anyone remember Gottlieb's Bungalow's in Rock
>Hill, NY? My family spent summers there from
>approximately 1957 through the mid '60's. The owners
>there were Jean and Noah Gottlieb, who had three sons
>Marty, Howard, and Leon. It was a quiet place where
>the little girl that I was could lie on the grass and
>read stacks of Nancy Drew mysteries, and the library
>books that my father, Dave, would bring up for me from
>Brooklyn. Oh how excited I was as Friday night drew
>closer and closer, and I knew I would be seeing my
>father again; I waited--as the endless day so very
>slowly turned to night--to hear the sound of his car
>tires making a crunching sound as they went over the
>rocky driveway, around a bend, and then finally
>stopping at our modest bungalow. My mother, Bette,
>would dry my tears early Tuesday mornings as his car
>took him back to the City, and back to work.
>Gottlieb's was a simple place where mothers cooked our
>weekday meals on small, white, 50's stoves that we'd
>call "retro," now, and father's grilled (mostly
>burned) our hot dogs and hamburgers on week ends. We
>kids played on the swings, swam in the small lake,
>picked blueberries, and waited for after the rain to
>search for orangey-green salamanders. What more did we
>need? As I recall, not much.
