I only visited Minnewaska once, somewhere in the 40's. From 1937 to 1953 my summers were spent at Mohonk and I still return there and was married there in the gardens. But I still recall the view of Minnewaska from the Skytop Tower. There is simply no place like it on this earth. I knew the Smiley's well and they had a very definite influence upon my life.
