"What's in a Lakeside Cottage Name?" -Gretchen Curtis

​     While enjoying the Lakeside campus, many of us speculate about the names on cottages. In this light-hearted presentation, Gretchen Curtis will tell stories describing how about 60 cottages in Lakeside received their names.  Can you identify cottages whose names have been unchanged for more than 100 years? What single word is used most often in current cottage names? Attendees will be asked to complete a card with their cottage address and its name (if it has one) and Gretchen will deliver cards to the Heritage Society Archives to be placed in cottage files.
  Gretchen Curtis, a Lakeside summer resident for 13 years, is an active volunteer with the Heritage Society and Women’s Club. She served as the Lakeside Heritage Society Director of Operations 2012-2015 and the Lakeside Association Education Director 2007-2011.  She retired the first time in 2005 after a 36-year career in pediatric nursing, with most of those years at Denver Children’s Hospital.
