Description
Admiral Stark had a series of competitive boat races done in his honor, near Wilkes Barre- happening at Lake Carey in Tunkhannock. This was something, as he states in this post card, that he was particularly proud of. Stark had learned to boat and swim in Lake Carey, so he personally had good feelings towards that lake. It is likely he played a part in these races being established. Once the races eventually came to an end, the lake stopped being used for grander reasons and events, instead becoming more of a private lake with a focus on keeping water and environmental quality of it good among the community.
