Well, the plug worked. I'll pick up a copy at Davis-Kidd this weekend.

Shameless Plug: On page 55 of my "Ask Vance" book (available at Davis-Kidd or by calling 575-9470), I tell the fascinating story of Rainbow Lake and include a nice photo of Beverly Pieraccini (the owner's daughter) standing by the pool, as well as a smaller photo of the Rainbow Lake Terrace Room.

I wish someone could come up with some pictures of Rainbow Lake swimming pool. I spent a lot of fun summers there in the early 60s.

Au contraire, there's still a trace of Maywood down there. Just the houses, of course, some of which still bear their nifty resort look, from when Maywood and Mineral Wells were almost as popular resort destinations as Raleigh.
