This good Bishop is from my hometown area (greater Westerly/Pawcatuck), right on the Rhode Island/Connecticut south shore.
I distinctly remembering visiting that area with some college friends. We stayed at a huge house on the water -- my recollection is that the name was something like Guanachontaug Pond [sp?]. One of the most beautiful, tranquil spots I've visited anywhere. If that's where you live, I'm jealous!

LOL! It's spelled Quonacontaug and yes it is a beautiful area of the country. I'm surprised you were able to even remember the name! I had to look up the spelling myself! haha! Many of the names of our local beaches and ponds have the names give them by the local Native Americans, the Narragansett Indians. Misquamicut, Weekapaug etc... I take it from your profile you are from the big apple? I have lots of friends down your way. You'll have to come for a visit during the summer months.
