Bill What? Huh? by sothatwasbillhahns http://sothatwasbillhahns.wordpress.com/about/#comment-8 sothatwasbillhahns Thu, 13 Aug 2009 04:54:52 +0000 http://sothatwasbillhahns.wordpress.com/about/#comment-8 I was young when my family and I visited Bill Hahn's. I think we first went when I was about seven years old ( probably 1977), and we went for a few years. We met some very nice people when we stayed there, as my parents chatted with everyone and tried to include my sister and me as much as possible. I'm afraid I only have distinct memories of three people other than Mr. Hahn -- one was an older gentleman (and his wife) who sat near us in the dining room. He always reminded my parents that, although my sister and I were "full" and couldn't finish our vegetables, there was always an extra drawer for dessert. I also remember a woman about my mom's age who could "clap" bees and kill them, and her daughter, who was about my age. Feel free to post any pictures you may have! I'd love to see them!

If I may ask...how old are you? Perhaps you knew them.... My grandfather entertained at Bill Hahn’s, and brought his family (including my Dad, and later my Mom as well) to Bill Hahn’s every year.

The Glass House. The glass paperweight cases by coat room in the Main House. Walks out to Salt Island on snow swept tidal flats. Trips with Nate and Shirley to Mystic Seaport, or to New Haven for bowling and pizza. Lobster lunches on Wednesday and Saturday, and overcooked crepes each morning for breakfast. Barbara Batt, my first romantic crush. I really enjoyed the piece you wrote. Wishing you well being, happiness and joy in the New Year.
