Willow Manor, my grandparent's home/hotel, was known for its great Jewish-American food -- everything fresh from the garden, chicken coop, fresh caught fish, etc. expertly cooked by Gussie [grandma] Kleinberg. I grew up there each summer & had an absolute ball. I still visit the site [hotel long gone] once a year when driving through.
Proud grandson,

I don't know if your blog is still active. But had to let you know I was feeling nostalgic about Willow Manor today after watching an old home movie. LOVED that place. Went with my cousins and grandparents during 1959-1963 or so. So many wonderful memories. My grandfather singing Oh sola mia ... while floating in an inner tube. Rowing around the bend with my Aunt Mitzi and cousin Joani..and coming upon all those dragon flies! Hearing the announcements for meal time, "Dinner is now being served in the children's dining room" I remember being so in awe of the little packets of real butter! (We were a margarine family).
I've got to go and see if I can find some photos online. Thank you for being responsible for some of my happiest childhood memories.
