History of the Lodge

Joe's Stories

Rev. A. Rufus Morgan

Construction of this site was started on 5 December 2005 as the result of a brainstorm by John and Joe Schlatter, brothers who worked at LeConte Lodge in the 1960's when it was owned by Herrick and Myrtle Brown. 

We want to share this site with others who worked at LeConte Lodge and we solicit your input. This is how we plan for the site to work:

1. If you worked at LeConte Lodge in the Great Smokies, compose one or more articles describing yourself and your experiences at the Lodge -- add photos, maps, and other graphics as you see fit.

2. E-mail your articles and graphics to the webmaster -- see this page for instructions about submitting your article.

3. The webmaster will add your article to the site.

We welcome your suggestions as to what to include on this site.

We wanted to include on the site a page that lists names and e-mail addresses of LeConte alum so we can contact each other -- HOWEVER -- we are experienced enough on the WWW to know that posting e-mail addresses on a website is not a good idea -- doing so just invites spam to your inbox.  Still, we need to be able to share one another's contact information, provided you want your information shared.  Therefore, we propose to do this:

1. Send your name and e-mail address to the webmaster and tell him if you are willing to have your name and e-mail address added to a list that will be circulated to other LeConte alum.

2. I will compile a list of names, e-mail addresses, and other information (dates you worked at LeConte, etc.).

3. I will from time to time e-mail that list to everyone on the list who has agreed to share his/her contact information.

4. I hope this process will allow us to contact each other while shielding our identities.  Details of the LeConte Lodge Alum Contact List are at the bottom of this page.

How are we paying for this?  Out of our own pockets -- and we are glad to do it so we will not be hitting you up for a donation -- we love LeConte and we wanted to establish this place on the WWW for other LeConte alumni/alumnae to share their experiences.

Meanwhile, bookmark the site and get to work on your article.
