After Donald Rosborough sent me the composite photo of Lago in
1934 I had to add that photograph as one of my favorite on the web site.

Seems as though the more people send, the more I have to add
to this page. Bill Moyer sent really great photos from the late 1920's and
very early 1930's. These photos were clear enough that I was able to
"blowup" the background. The result is shocking, in those days there was
nothing, only coral, water and houses, no vegetation had yet been planted, no
swimming docks had yet been built. CLICK HERE TO

My favorite story about how someone got to
Aruba and working for Lago is Mr. Koster's story.

My favorite story by someone from Lago is
Dr. Lee A. Dew's story; "The Day Hitler Lost the War".

However, there is a very short story that I
also enjoy very much by Yvonne van der Putten-Brinkman.
It is about the Amstel Beer Boat. I think I like this story
because I would have liked to be there to partake.

There is also a piece about bringing the lake
tanker into Lake Maracaibo that I think is very interesting.

My favorite news item is the story about the
Christmas trees arriving in Aruba.

 |
| My favorite Lago memorabilia is tough as
there are a lot of great things about the company but I guess if I have to pick
one it is the shipping manifest submitted by Richard Beaujon. I guess I
just feel it is great that something like this has been preserved and can be
shared. CLICK ON THE SHIP

In closing I would like to say that
everything I have received for this web site has been wonderful, believe me it
was hard to pick out a favorite, it was all so wonderful. |
