In 1988, two young men from China, Wenbo Huang, and Kexiang Wu, were hired by the general manager John Magnuson and started to work here as servers, cooks, housekeepers, babysitters, painters, carpenters. They cut the tree branches blocking the view to the Winnisook lake. They cut the blueberries from the fern. Now they become professors majored in hospitality management. They miss Winnisook Club.
