Here is Alan Gaylor, playing and singing (beautifully, no doubt) while sitting on a gleaming, new stainless steel counter by the dishwasher (named "Hobart") in the kitchen of the (pre-1983) boys' dining hall. Alan was from Upper Montclair, an early 1960s Wawayanda guy, and now lives in Hawaii*, where he still makes and performs music. You can hear him on a CD called Two Waters by Coconut Joe. He has a seriously good harmonica solo on a song called "Humpback Whale." The song is trite ("far from human eyes..." there's this wonderful world of whales and dolphins) but Gaylor's solo is hot. I've made a clip of it here--so have a listen. And click here for more about the song. He also plays harmonica on a "Go Jimmy Go" CD called Soul Arrival (look here). On the 1964 staff list Gaylor is listed as "Boys Camp Clerk." In '65 he was a counselor in the "CE" or "Construction Engineer" program but by '66 he's gone (his brother, Edward, worked '66 as a rifle range assistant). In '63 he had been a junior counselor. We are not in touch with Alan; anyone who knows how to reach him should contact me.* according to Jim Wilkes
