Late May c. 1977 - warm spring night - A bunch of us, 6-7 people, Ed Hammond among them, were having a few drinks at the Colony when we decided to wander down to the lake. About half way down Albany Street we heard a commotion over by Carpenter's Pond. Well, we staggered over there and the street next to the pond was covered with HUNDREDS of croaking frogs. Literally hundreds! Maybe thousands! You had to be very careful where you were walking... Some kind of mating deal. It was bizarre! We just stared and stared in awe at this event. Kinda magical!
