Diana. I was Dover Plains Complex truck driver in 1968. In 1969 I accepted the job of truck driver again. However, two weeks into the summer a male counselor freaked out and quit. I was called to drive him to the train station in Pawling. On the way to the station we talked about each other's job. He told me he could do my job and I told I could do his job. I then turned the truck around and returned to Camp Sharparoon where we approached Dick Pease and told him we were willing to swap jobs. Dick agreed and I was sleep deprived the entired summer. In 1969 (Man landed on the Moon) Elba Melendez was a Pine Hollow counselor. She became my bride on Independence Day, 1970. Her brother, Jose, was Director of Green Acres the summer of 1970. He then left NYC Mission Society to take a job with US Dept of Labor in Boston. He is planning to retire this year. I am the treasurer of Friends of Camping Plus, an alumni organization founded by Tessie Donahue and others in 1980. Our current member are : Jose Melendez, Vinnie & Lydia Jenoure, Willie & Minerva Rivera,Ben Cruz, Raul & Shirley Sepulveda, Eli & Evelyn Saldana, Luisa Gonzales, Edna Greenfield,Luis Abreu, Tito Abreu and many others. We meet three weekends a year at Camp Green Acres:Memorial, Columbus and Presidents' Weekends. You are more than welcome to join us. |
