Hi Nancy, My name is Steve Reiss and my brother Bob and I were Counselors at Camp Sharparoon while your father was Camp Director.  I spent several years at camp, first as a Camper (’51, ’52 and ’54), then as a Counselor in Training (’55), then as a Counselor’s Aide(’57) and finally as a Counselor (’58, ’59 and ’60). I remember your mother (who worked in the office) and you as a little girl. However, I not sure if you also had a sister. Both Bob and I had a deep love for Sharparoon. When we were  teenagers and camp was closed, we would take the train to Wingdale, walk along the tracks to Dover Furnace and spend the day hiking around the camp property. About eight years ago, while mountain biking in the area, I stopped in to take a look. The old dock was gone but the Mess Hall and other buildings from the 50’s and 60’s were still there. The ‘S’ was still visible on the ‘S’ rock. I have hundreds of negatives and many pictures of camp. Maybe the New York City Mission society WEB site could add a page showing our old Camp Sharparoon.
