Information Boards Dedicated to Lake Enthusiast

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Even as they took cover from a strong thunderstorm this week, members of the Saratoga Lake Association (SLA) were determined to honor the late Robert Eastman.

On Monday, SLA members were joined by Stillwater Supervisor Ed Kinowski at Brown’s Beach to unveil one of three information boards dedicated to Eastman. But severe weather conditions forced the group inside Doc Brown’s restaurant to mingle instead.

A second information board stands at the bottom of steps leading to the Saratoga Springs Waterfront Park, while a third will eventually be placed at the state boat launch. The boards contain detailed maps of Saratoga Lake, and small metal plaques “in memory” of Eastman are affixed to them.

Eastman, the former SLA vice president, died suddenly in the spring of 2016. He was an avid photographer and “genuine ‘can do’ type of guy,” according to a flyer circulated among SLA members for a photo contest that was also organized in his memory. “Bob was a great individual with a gentle soul and incredible integrity. His counsel, wisdom and leadership skills were exceptional and he was very well liked by everyone.”

This month, Tina Pamper and Sal Fusco were announced as the winners of the SLA photo contest. They both received tickets to Hal Raven’s Adirondack Cruise and Charter Company, plus gift certificates to a local tavern and marina.
