58 years ago, I set foot on Buckleys Beach, Sand Lake, for the first time and have done so every year since. I was 12 years old at the time and Sand Lake has become my second home for when I need to recenter my heart and soul with lifetime friends and lake time memories. Back in the late 60s and early 70s, my dad sat on the Board and helped organize the Regatta, Sailboat Race and Turkey Shoot. (I remember helping my dad secure frozen turkeys for first prize winners at the Shoot.) I welcome the opportunity to join the PTPOA Board for the second time and convene with fellow Sand Lakers on the issues that concern all of us property owners.
