Looking back now, I didn't take very many photographs that week with my little Kodak Instamatic camera, and film and processing were expensive for a student taking out loans left and right.  Fortunately, a camp roster was made up, and here are just some of the long-time camp people I missed, in the order they appear on the roster:  Phil Sakowski, Kevin Brinkman, Jeff Hewitt, Anthony Potyen, Ron Pudlo, Pat McTeague, Tom Musillami, Glen Davis, Ingrid Bouman, Diane Wilfred, Eric Bolden, Mike Trimpe, Carolyn Pluta, Anna Diamont, Mary Ann McGinn, Tom Scanlon, Kenny Gilford, Stosh Pedziwiater, Jeff Zakis, Billy Fair, Dave Scanlon, Robin Hewitt, Barry Deertz, Johnny Angelico, Jeff Brinkman, Russ Bolden, Pat "PT" Healey, Bill Harris, Dana Brinkman, Stan Bolden, Joe Doyle, Bill Rees, Donna Jarka, Dr Ralph Levin, and Maureen Scully.
