Thanks for the reply, I had begun to think my ex was full of it as he was much of the time, hence the "EX"! Yes. I'd love to know more about the hospital. Was it part of Fort Pike? Reading your description it sounds as if the structure may only be visible by boat? I'd love to get photos one day if it is possible. I'll be looking forward to more information on it and possibly see your map of it's location.

My late step-father has told me many stories about the activity on the lake during and around WWII. That and the part the lake had in the Civil War tells me that our little brackish lake is far more important in our nations history than many people think.

Take care and have a wonderful evening!
