  Our lives are made up of people we meet and no matter how brief their visit here they often leave a lasting impression. Such was Virginia and Charles McGuiness. They came to Lakeside January 1983 and encased themselves with Lakeside and especially the Lakeside Historical Society.
  After Virginia died in 1998, her husband of 22 years returned to the east coast.
  We received word recently that he had passed away. They were both life members of the Lakeside Historical Society; Virginia #260 and Charles #261.
