Very sad news. Just received a call. George Koval passed away on Saturday. Was working out in a gym and died suddenly. We will all remember him as a modest, wonderful friend Very smart and a gifted athlete and captain of football at Penn. I have memories of his being able to throw a football the length of our KK football field. Sadly missed. Dave Rutstein

My father, Mahlon (Mickey) Simon Jr., who was a camper in the 1940s, passed away on 1/20/23.

Not amazing at all considering the memories of years at 7 and 8 etc

I just saw this obituary in the Philadelphia Inquirer for William (Bill) Goff. I have to assume this is the same kamper from 1958 and 1959 since it mentions that he grew up in ELkins Park and the Kamp Directory also says Elkins Park.It's amazing that I can remember Kewanee names from 65 years ago, but can't remember the name of a person I met 10 minutes ago! Happy New Year!

Does anyone remember a kamper with the last name of Anschuler?

Sad news about Billy Ostrow who was a giant among boys at KK. May his memory be a blessing.

Sorry I was unable to make the Reunion. Any pictures, attendee list?

Tom and Mary Valentine June 14, 2023 13:13:17 (EDT)

Many thanks to WFIL and his committee for a great reunion at the Joseph Ambler Inn. The accommodations, food, drinks and WFIL's memorabilia were outstanding. The best part, the absolute best part, was sharing memories with others who have been a part of KK history. We hope you all arrived home safely and enjoy the rest of summer.

Thanks Moose!
A real shock to the family, there are no words!

Moose Adland January 12, 2023 11:35:27 (EDT)

I want to add that Alan loved his. years at KK 1965-70 I believe. He kept in touch with so many of us from those years. He will be missed.

I am very sad and devastated to report that my dearest old KK friend, Alan Kaufmann, was murdered by his stepson in his McClean home on Tuesday. I had talked to Alan earlier that day. He had retired from the government on Dec. 23 and was looking forward to continuing his education, writing sports stories, exercising and living the retired life. I last saw him when I came to Chevy Chase for my HS reunion. We had a fun lunch in Bethesda.
I learned about this terrible news from a school friend of mine who became friends with Alan at Harvard. You can google Alan Kaufmann if you want more information. This is just so so sad.

Sorry to report the passing of Ronny Watts. You will recall his basketball prowess at KK and with the Boston Celtics. Dave

My father Dr. Richard D. Bush purchased the Kamp in the 1970's with a group of other investors. My father has since passed. I have a collection of vinyl albums from 1952-1957 approximately. If someone could reach out to me, I would like to pass them on so others can take a walk down memory lane. My email is bushjackie@aol.com.

Sad to share that Jon Spear passed away ....

Norm Schultz June 3, 2022 15:06:14 (EDT)

Today is June 2nd 2022.

From time to time I have the urge to look back on Kewanee memories and thanks to the internet I can afford myself of the opportunity--which I did today. I end each session with "When the moon shines" as i did today. I also think of my father who paid the bills for myself AND my 2 brothers: Mal and Steve. So in the mid forties my Dad was shelling out $2000. per summer in the MID FORTIES!! Thanks Dad ;

So sad to report that Mike Corson as passed away. Mike was a CIT my first year at KK in 1957 and sat with this terrified kid and helped me get through a thunderstorm my second night at KK. Our paths crossed many years later professionally when I walked into an office for a job interview in Philly and we recognized each other immediately. Mike was a great guy. Here is the link to his obituary. May his memory be blessing.

Has anyone heard from Dave Loewenstein
lately? He lived in Potomac, MD, and was in my tent back in 1949. He still has a voice mail, but he never replies.
