John Vandervort
Residency: Unknown
John taught in the
Juve School
for many years. He also owned two resorts on Lost Lake. One
was Forest Primeval where the "Stone House" is located and he
owned most of that shoreline. He was an energetic visualizer
and enthusiastic promoter of our area. Here are only two of his
many projects for the community. What is now Holiday Estates
and Timbergate was a planned airport for St. Germain to be named
Weber's Field in honor of
William Weber. It did not
materialize and Paul Keene
and Marlene Bartelt's
husband purchased the land to make the two subdivisions. John
was also the creator of "Colorama" and St. Germain held the
first one. It is now one our biggest fall festivals and has
spread to other communities.
