Harry J. Schoettle was born and raised in Philadelphia graduating from LaSalle College High School. Harry attended Princeton University graduating in 1951 under the NROTC Program with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. While at Princeton Harry was a roommate of Lake Naomi Developer Logan Steele. After Princeton Mr. Schoettle served four years in the US Navy including two years as a Gunnery Officer aboard the USS Missouri and six months of active duty in the Korean Combat Zone. Harry subsequently served two years as an instructor at the United States Naval Academy. Harry concluded his military service in 1965 as a Lieutenant Commander United States Naval Reserve. Harry joined college roommate Logan Steele in the development of Lake Naomi and Timber Trails in 1971 and served as the President of the Pocono Pines Corporation during the balance of the development years. Harry also served as Secretary of the Lake Naomi Club Board of Trustees from 1971 to 1989. Mr. Schoettle was the member of the development team that looked after all the regulatory and legal details. Harry worked very hard as the development years were winding down to assure that the Club and Associations had legal title to all of the amenities and green spaces. He worried about the Community details right up until the time he passed in 1996. He even deeded the Club the legal right to clear up any real estate matters. Harry’s forethought has avoided numerous costly and time consuming trips to court for minor details for Property Owners. Harry Schoettle and Logan Steele donated all of the facilities in Lake Naomi and Timber Trails to the Club and Associations including the twenty-nine acre site for the Community Center. As full time residents of Tobyhanna Township, Harry and his wife Jacqueline made a significant contribution to the Community. Harry served on the Tobyhanna Township Planning Commission for fifteen years, serving as Chair of the Planning Commission for the seven of these years. And Harry was always financially supportive of Jackie’s endeavors with Girl Scouting and the Clymer Library. Jacqueline Schoettle has resided in Fort Lauderdale, Florida since 1996 and generally visits Lake Naomi – Timber Trails on a yearly basis. The Schoettle’s son, Michael Fiske, resides in Basalt, Colorado while their daughter, Lisa J. Farmer (Fiske), resides in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Their daughter, Jennifer L. Schoettle passed in 1970. Thanks goes to the entire Schoettle Family for contributing so much to the Lake Naomi-Timber Trails Community.
