Description
"People let me tell you 'bout my best friend ..." ~ "Best Friend," ~ by Harry Nilsson, "Theme Song of The Courtship of Eddie's Father," ~ 1969-1972. A man and his furry first mate set out in a small kayak on a perfect summer day at Leaser Lake, in the shadow of the northern Blue Mountain Ridge, New Tripoli, Pennsylvania. The sight of this man and his adorable dog - both in life jackets - brings to loife the words of that iconic song, "Best Friend." Leaser Lake's namesake is Frederick Leaser, who in September 1777 with his farm team hauled The Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to Allentown where it was concealed in Zion Reformed Church. His homestead is located one mile north of the lake.
