aloha--
just discovered this site while looking on the web for some land up in the old camp area... i've been fantasizing about the old fishing days up there for a few years now.
my memory is a little hazy (right after camp, i entered my teenage years in the 60's and my brain is a little "experiment" addled... nuff said).... i'm pretty sure that it was 63 & 64 that i was at horseshoe as a pioneer/woodsman... my first year there, my arm was in a cast & as such i played alot of tetherball one-armed (i think i helped frankie perfect his anti-tetherball dogma)... i'm relating this in the hope that someone with a better memory will be able to jog mine... the pics & etc. on the web site have really helped, & it would be great for someone who knows more of the history to post it (i.e. what happened to the camp, significant dates of passing, etc..... i have seen some references to josie & to fire, & am very curious what happened)... i remember gordie's son scott was there when i was, maybe slightly older or younger... dan gould's name rings a foghorn, as does david lightman, john pritzker & tom gutman.... if any one has more pics from this era, please post them!!
also, my uncle sy was the camp doc in 1960, & his sons keith & rob were campers then... i'm fowarding this web site to them, but meanwhile, if anyone wants to contact them, i have their email--
