Favorite Memories: Shannondale was an incredible place to grow up.  All my firsts were there at the club (The well, The pool, Beside the pool house,  The enclosed floating lake area, The beach area),  etc.  I use to carve my name and someone that was so special to me’s name in the table in the teen room.  I use to go dance by myself upstairs in the ballroom when I wanted to dream.  I would stand outside and lean on the fence and look at the water when I was sad and it would always make me feel a little better, I even made most of my wishes for my future life at that fence looking at the lake.  Life is good now, but nothing can take the place of those precious memories.

God I miss Shannondale and what it used to be.  I wish someone would rebuild the club. 

I am going to start coming up and walking around the lake on the weekends and was hoping I could find a walking partner from my past to meet me up there.  If anyone is interested please give me a call or e-mail me, life is too short and it would be nice to reconnect and reminisce.                       

Note: Just received on 12/10/2009 an update from Atina. She wanted to- Shucks, I'll let Atina tell you-

I was missing Shannondale and thought I would look at the lovely website you’ve worked so hard on for so long.  It truly is beautiful!  I miss the club and the old times soooooo much.  I noticed that all my information is outdated.  I wanted to know if I could give you my correct information.  I  never run into anyone and would love to see any and everyone that I grew up with, so maybe if I update my information, just maybe, someone will contact me or if there is ever a get together, maybe I’ll be invited and then I can see some or all of the old gang.  It sure would be nice.  It was an incredible place to grow up and all my firsts were there at the club, by the pool, the pool house, etc.  I use to carve my name and someone that was so special to me’s name in the table in the teen room.  I use to go dance by myself upstairs in the ballroom when I wanted to dream.  I would stand outside and lean on the fence and look at the water when I was sad and it would always make me feel a little better.  God I miss Shannondale and what it used to be and what it meant to me.  I wish someone would rebuild the club.  I am going to start coming up and walking around the lake on the weekends and was hoping I could find a walking partner from my past to meet me up there.  So maybe if I update my information and put information about wanting a walking partner maybe I’ll find one.  Can you help me out with this?  Are we going to have any get togethers ever?  Or do they ever have any and I just am not in the network?  Or can I help organize one for summer?  I hope your doing ok and I appreciate everything you always did for my mom.  She loved you dearly with good reason, your such a kind loving person.  I check, by phone on Wayne, at least a couple of times a week, but I need to start getting up there to see him on the weekends as well.  Take care and thanks for all your help.  I assume your usually busy with your life, but if you’re not or ever want an e-mail buddy just shoot me an e-mail, I’m here!
