Marilyn Fisher McConihay and Carolyn Fisher Reed, daughters of Chet and Norma Fisher and sisters of Allen, donated their family photos to share with the Quonnie community.  Their Grandparents were Arthur and Edith Fisher from Providence.  Arthur and Edith built a summer cottage on Surfside Avenue on Central Beach.  It was completed just before the 1938 Hurricane.  Arthur and Edith also built their winter home in Quonnie atop the little hill on Ninigret Avenue. They named it the “Log Cabin”.  Their two sons, Bradford and Chester, lived at Quonnie in Central Beach, as well.

Marilyn has written her own story about her Quonnie memories and you may read it by clicking on “Personal Stories”.
