    Wonderful presentation! Thank you. Are any of the homes still owned by the original families, or have they changed hands many times?

    Why has Cairngorm sat unsold for so many years?

    He mentioned cedar shakes resisting salt water. Where was this salt water? I thought all the Lakes were fresh water.

    He was making reference to using cedar shake shingles on the east coast, because they are resistant to the salt water from the Atlantic Ocean.

    Mr. Porter, 50 years . You've really milked this cow. I only wish that Dennis Havelena made $130,000 a year when he worked there.
