Yeah, it was a great place to grow up. Coventry itself hasn't changed much since I was a kid. We lived right on the Lake, so we were like fish when we were kids (never got out of the water all summer <g>). My Mom had to sell the place the year before last, which was kind of sad (Dad had Alzheimer's, he died last year). But, one of my sisters still lives in Coventry (just not on the Lake) and there are a few family friends who still live on the Lake, so we can still have the lake experience when we go back to visit. <g>
