Take a look back at Big Bear Resort in 1971!

This is Big Bear Marina circa 1974-1975. I am starting to save all the old photos. Do you recognize anyone in here? Especially the guy rocking the beret!

It is purging season and I dreamt about this beast last night! Seriously! I thought how much we have evolved as a business. As late as 1982 we used these books to do all the payroll and expenses! Then came the TRS80, better known as the Trash 80. I was pregnant trying to learn accounting and a program with floppy disks called DacEasy Light. I have kept this last book to keep me humble. Can’t is not a word in my vocabulary but accounting almost made me say it!
