      Good morning! You did a great job writing the article, especially if you were short on time. There are all kinds of things I could tell you but I’d run out of space. My brother emailed me (after I sent the family your article) that this Friday, January 7th, marks 50 years from the day my Dad closed on the island transaction! Pretty cool! I can’t believe it’s been that long, I have so many experiences and and have made so many memories. I just can’t imagine the island belonging to any other family, it’s part of our DNA.

        Thanks for sharing the article and photo, and happy 50th Anniversary with the island! I’m sure there’s a lot of wonderful memories, adventures, stories and the like over those years!

      My family and I have been fortunate to have grown up here, on Castle Rest, since we were children. 50 years. It’s a very special place, full of history and full of memories. Although the castle is gone, we have a deck in the same location that Pullman had a covered patio facing the channel of the river. (see the family photo in the article). The servants quarters, billiard room and boathouse all still stand. It’s a place that is dear to my family (and many friends), we can’t imagine it not being in the family for generations to come.

        Hi Richard, thanks for leaving a comment! I was running short on time when I posted this and wasn’t able to provide as much of a current status as I would like to have. Thanks for filling in some of the blanks, it’s much appreciated!
