"What’s funny is I have total clarity on some names and I’m drawing blank on others, and it seems completely unrelated to how well I knew the person! There was another counselor named Dave who was a great guy, always getting us into…"

Alan!  Thanks for signing up to my little bungalow colony web experiment which I hope manages to preserve a bit of history, collect and spark some memories and of course, to connect old friends.

We would have been at Sunny Croft at the same time - take a look at the 1973 camp photo and let me know if you spot yourself in it :). Do you remember where your bungalow was?

Not a lot goes on in this "community" and the interface is quite old (I'm still hanging onto the very inexpensive introductory pricing) but I hope you find some connections and hopefully share some memories and photos or video.

Best,


Manny

Thank you Manny. This is Alan Hyams and we were at Sunnycroft and I believe you were at Rosmarins as well if Im not mistaken. I’ll probably be able to fill in some names and additional information in your photo section.  

it was a long time ago and looking at those photos of Sunnycroft almost returned to wilderness it really does feel it.

Hi Alan,

We were on the same row!  I was in the closer unit in the last pair of bungalows at the other end of the pool-level line.  We had that same place for about 6 summers, except for the last year that we were there which I believe was 1975, when we rented a guest apartment in a house on the road that ran behind the ball field and paddle ball courts.

It was indeed a long time ago.  I haven't seen anyone from Sunny Croft in a very long time - we moved to Bucks County PA in the summer of 1976 and that was the end of our Sunny Croft run.  The one exception was Evan Koopman who had been a neighbor/schoolmate of mine in Queens and who I got reconnected to via a very long shot through a work associate of mine about 10 years ago.

My family and I live in Brooklyn near Prospect Park, are you still in NY?

Hi Manny,

Thats right you were in the same row. Near Jeff and his brother Eric, I don’t recall their last name. I do remember you. I remember Evan Koopman too, and his brother whose name escapes me at the moment, and I remember we used to talk about music a lot in later years at Rosmarins. 

I moved out of NY more than 30 years ago, lived in VA for several years and now live near Pittsburgh.
