**History of the Handbook (from the foreword)**

The first Star Lake Handbook was created and printed in 1995. John Sayles did most of the research and writing while Roy Djuvik created the map and lot data to identify who lived where. Peter Kress aided in the printing and the Handbook was distributed to Star Lake Protective Association members and others who expressed an interest. An increasing number of requests for a revised Handbook has finally led to this second edition.

Roy, Peter and John spent countless hours originating and publishing the first Handbook and it is out of respect for their efforts that I have made my contribution. Much of the original text remains while other sections were edited and updated to bring us up to 2005. The map has been improved and the lake owner data has been updated to reflect new ownership. Colored photos and charts have been added and the fish stocking program has been brought up to date. The fish spotter’s guide has been completely revamped with color photos and descriptions of more fish found in Star Lake. Existing sections have been expanded and a new section seeking harmony among lake community members has been added. Desktop publishing software has provided a more professional look while condensing more information into a smaller package. I, too, have spent countless hours on this project over several years, but it was a labor of love devoted to the most wonderful lake in the world! I hope you enjoy the Star Lake Handbook in its second, but hopefully not final edition. —Bo Ritchings
