Thank you so much for a thought provoking article. My great grandmother worked at the hotel, keep her photo present and thank her every time I visit her plot, at South Cemetary. Important to keep tradition alive, and gratitude. Star Island such a blessing on many levels.
My parents met at Star when they were 17 at a UU teen conference. My dad proposed out there on the rocks that very week, and that was that. Our family attended All-Star week for years. Their 50th anniversary photo is at the turnstile. (Is it still there?) My sister was a Pelican in the dining room (do they still call staff Pelicans?). The chapel is always the first place that comes to mind when I think of “sacred space.” Thank you for sharing this special trip.
Wow this place sounds so peaceful. Gonna do some Googling so I can take that trip. Thanks for sharing!!
