Tiger,

This is such a coincidence. On Saturday, we were visiting old friends, one of which is a rower (as in crew) as is my wife Donna. He recommended that book to her. 64 years without ever hearing about it, then hearing about twice in three days. KKW to you too.

Just got Mike Barrel Lieberman's 2 novels. Loved the Texas medical one & already passed it on to a good friend who's a med school dean lodges at a hospital. Will start "Lobsterman" asap. Andy Bresler's J-stroke comment reminded me that a wonderful book (about rowing, the Depression, Hitler's Olympics, etc) is "The Boys in the Boat."

Donna and I are on vacation on a lake in upstate New York and took out a canoe. I discovered that a very viable alternative to the J-stroke is taking one stroke for every two or three by the person in the bow. Add this to the list of things I wish I had learned when I was younger.

I'm not too Facebook savvy, so excuse my naivete, but is there a Kamp Kewanee group on Facebook? I know that Camp Kennebec has one.

Mike Corson posted a random rhetorical question on facebook today and then I saw a daddy long legs on our deck. It's strange how certain things bring back vivid memories of those amazing summer days at Kamp. Kee Kee Wah!

Fellow Kampers. A shameless bit of self-promotion, but before I do, I want to you know that I have already quit my day job. My new novel THE LOBSTERMAN'S DAUGHTER is out in paper (Amazon) (http://tinyurl.com/lobster-paper) & Kindle (http://tinyurl.com/lobster-kindle). The Maine coast is not Lake Manataka, but...

You may find this list of the 50 most amazing summer camps in the U.S. of interest. It appears to list only existing kamps. If not, it would rate a "Jera wah wah...".

Click here to read Fred Half's description of the trip he and his wife Cherie took earlier this year during which he retraced by car the route (in reverse order) we used to take on the Canoe Trips down the Susquehanna River.

May be attempting a visit to the hallowed grounds the weekend of June 28-29.Brother John's daughters have expressed an interest in seeing the Kamp.I understand that the conditions may not be conducive to conjuring up all those cherished memories. Feel free to contact me if you live in the area or are interested in sharing the experience. Chas Kee Kee Wah

I think his name was Frank. Probably still has those glasses.

Ross Wheeler May 7, 2014 14:28:27 (EDT)

That was a memorable event. The guy was a hero for many of us.

Bob "Tiger" Levy April 29, 2014 12:55:53 (EDT)

Does this mean that Rutstein was the guy?

At one of those "girlie shows" (or, perhaps, at a similar venue in Fleetville) one of the young ladies took the eyeglasses of someone from KK & put them in her private parts. Would the person whose glasses they were please step forward.

This is for Fred Half: when I went on my senior trips (1952 and 53), we started out in Endicott, outside of Binghamton and a few miles upstream of Owego. Maybe the starting point had changed by your senior year. And the memories never do fade! I of course mainly remembered the fair in either Sayre or Towanda ("I was born Towanda" was our song that year). There was one big tent with a girly show - but Skinny wouldn't let us go inside. It was all fabulous, though, and someday I hope to retrace my steps, though probably by car.

Dick Sundheim April 16, 2014 16:22:55 (EDT)

Fred- Many years ago I had A client in Sayre. I traveled through the Pennsylvania part of the trip in both directions many times. The memories never fade.

Happy Passover. On a recent excursion with my daughter, son-in-law, and grandson from Syracuse to Ithaca, NY I noticed a sign to Owego, NY (21 miles) and of course that brought back memories of canoe trips on the Susquehanna River. I know the Senior trip started at Owego and ended I believe at Wyalusing, PA where the Junior trip started and ended at Tunkhannock, PA. There were many towns in between where we stayed overnight or had lunch. I don't know if I remember all of them but some that came flooding back were Nichols and Waverly NY, Sayre, Athens, Towanda, Laceyville, Meshoppen, and Mehoopany, PA. I was planning to visit the KK site later this month and since I am going back to Syracuse to follow the canoe trip in reverse from Tunkhannock to Owego. Has anyone ever done anything like this or been to any of the towns? I suspect the river channels have changed significantly and towns are either larger or maybe non existent. Comments and reminisces welcome.
