May 31 2020 Beloved Memorial Day Memories at Lake Calhoun Lake Calhoun has a special place in our family history. Our Lake Calhoun family pictures are displayed below. Calhoun is where we always had our Memorial Day and Fourth of July picnics in the early 60s. We always stationed ourselves on the grass along the south beach, near the giant twelve-trunk tree which dropped its large pods on the ground. Every year we spotted the man who ran all the way around the lake - actually could see him running even when he was on the far side of the lake. He was an older man, and he ran in his swimming trunks. It was an amazing novelty in those days. He was the only one we'd ever seen running, let alone such a great distance. back to archives |
