“Sure do miss Frank. Frank knew my Dad before I was born, I have had great times at the Do Drop starting when I was a kid. I remember Frank said, stay out of the Bar area until you turned 18. Frank was a great guy. I loved the pickled eggs. I'll never forget, we stopped in to see Frank one day while riding our 4 wheelers. There was 6 of us. We emptied out the pickled egg jar. Went back the next afternoon and had more. There's a Rattle Snake skin on the pool room wall. My brother Bobby gave the snake to Frank back in the early 60's. It's fangs were 2" long! I wonder if the skin is still there. Frank was always happy to see me, and I him. Frank once told me he worked for the O&W RR. Back in the middle 90's I bought a book that focust on the O&W RR, Frank asked if I would get a book for him after viewing my book. I did, he was happy and so was I. I looked at the book recently and thought of Frank and smiled. Time marches on and waits for no one.Update on 11-23-18I made a trip up from Virginia this weekend to visit family. I stopped in at the Do Drop Inn and paid my respect to Jeanie. We shared old stories gave hugs we even shed some tears as well. I took a photograph of Jeanie with the snake skin in the background. I’m so glad I did so in at the inn Frank ran from the 1930’s.UPDATE, I made another trip from Virginia in January, 2022. Stopped in to say hello to Jeanie. I could believe my eyes I met Jimmy Vitale at the Do Drop Inn. We went to school in Hancock, Jimmy was a few years a head of me in school. We talked about the 67 GTO he had at the time, very nice car. It was Gold with black interior. My Brother Bobby worked for Jimmy’s Dad Carmie Vitale. I even got to see Jerry Bolster at the old Grand Union store, Jerry worked for Vitale Lumber for years.”

“I had the lemon chillo ice cream the other day,It was fantastic.I’ll be back.”

“Finally got down to the lodge -Great food great service great atmosphere- We’ll be back 🤙”

“Awesome place and experience. We arrived with 5 kids and they treated us really well. Foodwise, it's a great place. Not only that: I lost my cell phone there, I tracked it down, I called them and they sent it home. They didn't let me pay for the stamp. THANKS !”
