Squam Loon Report2016 was a tough season for Squam’s loons in many ways, but some of the best news came from right off of RDC’s shoreline! We now have two loon pairs instead of one in the waters by RDC! I have been waiting for years for this territory to VSOLW�DQG�LW�¿QDOO\�KDSSHQHG��2QH�RI�WKH�SDLUV�RFFXSLHG�%HQQHWW�&RYH�DQG�DURXQG�WKH�%LJKW��7KH�IHPDOH�RI�WKLV�SDLU�ZDV�WKH�same one who nested in the Bight near the Deephaven boathouse in 2010 and has been around RDC at least since 1998. Apparently remembering RDC’s warm hospitality when she last nested in the Bight, she considered nesting there again this year, this time atop the old beaver lodge. She and her mate sat there for a couple days but never actually laid an egg. This was soon followed by a nesting attempt near Bennett Cove, which, sadly, was unsuccessful due to a mammalian predator. 7KH�VHFRQG�SDLU�KDG�D�WHUULWRU\�DURXQG�WKH�%LUFK�DQG�2WWHU�,VODQGV�DQG�)LYH�)LQJHU�3RLQW�DUHD��7KH\�DOVR�VDW�RQ�D�SRWHQWLDO�QHVW�VLWH�IRU�¿YH�GD\V�EXW�DOVR�QHYHU�ODLG�DQ�HJJ��0DQ\�WKDQNV�WR�5'&�IRU�WKHLU�DVVLVWDQFH�LQ�PLQLPL]LQJ�GLVWXUEDQFH�DW�ERWK�potential nest sites. Hopefully, both of these pairs will nest successfully in the future.

The arrival of an additional pair around RDC brought Squam Lake’s total to 15 pairs of loons, with an additional 6 unpaired DGXOWV��1LQH�SDLUV�QHVWHG�DQG�WKUHH�RI�WKHVH�SDLUV�KDWFKHG�IRXU�FKLFNV��RI�ZKLFK�RQO\�RQH�VXUYLYHG�WR�ÀHGJH��7ZR�RI�WKH�chicks died as a result of territorial takeovers from other loons, and necropsy results are still pending on the third chick. 6DGO\��WKH�3HUFK�,VODQG�IHPDOH�ZDV�NLOOHG�E\�D�ERDW�SURSHOOHU�VWULNH�LQ�$XJXVW��$OO�WKLV�UHVXOWHG�LQ�D�GLI¿FXOW�\HDU�RQ�6TXDP��and productivity remains well below the level needed to maintain a stable population. While the nest failure near Bennett Cove was disappointing, the gain of a new pair and the interest in nesting shown by both pairs around RDC is encouraging, and I’m hoping for good things from these pairs in the coming year.

Ice Harvest Update(YHQ� EHIRUH� ZLQWHU� RI¿FLDOO\�began, ice was forming in the coves on Big Squam Lake. When RDC maintenance employee, Jon Spence, measured the thickness of the ice on December 19th, in the two locations where we harvest ice, we were surprised to learn that the Deep End area already had four inches of ice and Squaw Cove had eight inches! It is possible that by the time you read this article we will have the required 12-inch thickness needed to safely begin the ice harvest!

A Blast from RDC’s Past!At our Shareholders’ Annual Meeting on Saturday, September 17, 2016 we were very fortunate to have three very special guest speakers from RDC’s past �WKH�����¶V�DQG�����¶V���7KHVH�JXHVWV��*HRUJH�1HLOVRQ��*LOEHUW�5DLIRUG�DQG�Reggie Bennett, helped us preserve RDC’s rich past. They were interviewed by Cindy Jones, a professional videographer and producer of documentaries. Segments of their recorded interviews will be displayed in the future RDC Archive Center and potentially used in a documentary about RDC.

Here is a brief background on our speakers. George Neilson, RDC’s Manager from 1960 to 1968, managed the Camps through a period of great WUDQVLWLRQ�V���'U��*LO�5DLIRUG��FDOOHG�³7UHHV´���KH�LV�WKH�WDOO�RQH�LQ�WKH�SKRWR��was an RDC employee in the early 1950’s and returned in 1960 to be the 'HHSKDYHQ� 2I¿FH� 0DQDJHU� GXULQJ� *HRUJH� 1HLOVRQ¶V� ¿UVW� \HDU� DV� 5'&¶V�*HQHUDO�0DQDJHU��*HRUJH�DQG�KLV�IDPLO\�OLYHG�DERYH�WKH�'HHSKDYHQ�2I¿FH�that year and formed a special bond with Gil. Gil met his future wife, Mildred Falcon, that season at RDC. Mildred was also a Hampton graduate. As a high school student, Reginald Bennett became RDC’s pastry chef in the

1950’s. This position may have propelled him to his distinguished career with the Food and Drug Administration as a food microbiologist with extensive knowledge in research and analysis of bacterial food poisoning. We shared this bit of information with our food service staff and asked them to be on their A-game that weekend!

There is a line in one of our history books that reads, “there were as many degrees in the kitchen as there were amongst the guests.” From reading the resumes of these individuals, we have a clearer understanding of what that person meant.

Most guests have appreciated the greater informality, but recently there have been occasions when the level of casualness has, in the minds of many guests, become too great. We would like to remind all of our guests of the RDC dress code and ask for your cooperation in following these simple guidelines: No caps, tank tops, bathing suits or bare feet at any meal. Casual sportswear is acceptable for breakfast and lunch but more appropriate dress is recommended for dinner (non-athletic shorts, pants, collared shirt for men; dresses, skirts, pants, non-athletic shorts for women).

We ask that all guests use the Reservation Request Form on the reverse side of this paper.

When reservation bookings begin on February 15, the order in which reservations are placed is as follows:

Seniority Credit:Guests receive one seniority credit for each year in which they were guests in camp for one week or longer after the age of 25. This credit applies whether or not the individual has paid an RDC bill. No credit is given for partial-week stays. An additional credit is granted to guests who stayed at RDC prior to age 25, current RDC shareholders receive one additional credit, and a further credit is granted to those guests who served as an employee for at least one full season. A maximum of one seniority credit per season is allowed for any individual.
