Before the Steak 'n Shake there was Peck's Wander (or maybe Wonder) Inn, owned by Bud and Ella Peck, friends of my parents. I don't remember how I got up there, but I recall being up in that cupola on the roof. -----Original Message----- From: Marsha McWilliams [mailto:marsha.mcw@mchsi.com] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 4:26 PM To: ILMACON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: RE: [ILMACON] Durfee School I, too, sure remember Chap's. Don't believe I ever skated there, but we did go to the amusement park part of it. I liked riding the carousel. Does anyone remember when the Steak & Shake opened in Decatur (wasn't it not far from the lake?) Seems like I remember them having "car service" and we were one of the first customers (which would probably have been about 1950ish.)

It was Chap's. I always went with my cousin Gloria Schenck. I remember the guy who owned the place had been injured on the ferris wheel I believe.
