Seaglass... you are exactly right "forgive us our passion and we will try to forgive you for your lack of passion". I NEVER post, but I do follow these forums. That is precisely why I posted... there seemed to be such venom coming from those who did not understand what actually has happened to many families. For example, "go pack up granny" or comments regarding our stupidity in not understanding lease agreements etc... The background is important to know as a foundation for understanding why many of the 40 and 50 year plus renters feel somewhat betrayed. A gentlemens word and handshake were the only semblance of contracts but were nullified a decade ago when priorities or values shifted. Even so, a phone call or even a letter would have been the respectful way to terminate a association spanning more than 4 decades in my opinion.

But please forgive my apparent ill will toward RL... that is not entirely true and I apologize for it seeming so.

Until recently I have admired the stewardship, honesty and transparency, forward thinking attitude and philanthropy of RL. In fact, they seemed extraordinary... and I think they were. Now, I simply find them ordinary. They are like any other business out there, no better no worse. But I am personally dismayed because I thought more of them.
I have no delusions of any other company handling the inevitability of change and evolution any better. Well...perhaps the old RL.

Anyway, please don't confuse me with a RL hater, I am not. I have many friends there and do appreciate so many of the things they have done. But I do stand firm in my feeling the company has treated the older tenants with a total lack of respect and compassion and I fear it is a reflection of company priorities.

I will continue to love the lake and all she stands for. And I will continue to love "lake people".... we seem to be a breed apart. And if I ever see you stranded, I will certainly tow you in... change is inevitable but not all change should be embraced.
