Hi Doug,my name is Jim Spencer,I was all over elan from 81-82.I was in 7 and re-entry staff in 8 for a short time in 82.Some of my peers were moved to elan 3,H Harrison,T Sarick,S Nehrling come to mind,but they were probably gone when you got there.I live and work in the loon mountain area.My son lives in gilmanton.I have lived around here on and off since 1985,and I don't remember much about the fires at Weir's but it seems like something happened years ago.The beach shops and arcades are old as hell.Lots of huge old houses too.I don't think it was anything major.Bike week has gotten huge over the years to the tune of about 800,000.It's a freakin mini Sturgis.[ This Message was edited by: xres8182 on 2004-06-17 12:06 ]
