Title
Middle Bass Island, Ohio - Middle Bass on the Web
Description
When we first started thinking about creating a Middle Bass Web site in 1998, it was with the idea of just publishing various pictures and postcards we have accumulated over the years. My wife is a 3rd generation summer family islander who has been coming to Middle Bass since the mid-1940s, and I've been coming as long as I have known her. For years we were the primary users of her aunt's cottage, a Sears Roebuck catalog mail order house from the 1920s. That cottage never had heat, hot running water, or a shower.
In 1998, we built a new house on Middle Bass and discovered for the first time what a great place the island also is in the spring and fall, and on any cold day for that matter. In 2000, we spent 54 days on the island according to my calendar. In 2001, it was about 50 days. By 2004 it had grown to 92 days. Since we are not fully retired, that was quite an accomplishment. Our goal is to spend more time on the island every year.
Neither of us has ever designed or built a Web site before, but I do have a good software background, and my wife spends most of her time writing on a computer. Once we got the domain registered and got the first pages created in FrontPage, we got hooked. We have a scanner at home as well as 2 computers with 21 inch monitors, plus a high speed DSL link to the Internet, and my wife and I have spent many evenings working together on the site. Our original goal was mainly to make some island history widely available, but the scope of the site has clearly grown from there.
