Above: Howie Elliot (whom we in the 1960s and early 70s remember as Howie Fischgrund) joined us at the FV Annual Dinner last night at the Newark Club. Here he is with Jane and Halbe Brown. Howie is funny as ever!Lisa Ernst, Jerry Huncosky, Karen Rauter and others put on a really terrific evening for everyone. Alumni reading this who missed out on last night's event should seriously consider joining us next May for the 2009 annual dinner.
Above: Jim Kellogg, Halbe Brown, Jane Brown, and (standing) Mary Wheeler. Halbe was inducted into the Frost Valley Hall of Fame last night; he and Jane drove down from Vermont with son Jim Brown, who now directs Camp Beckett in western Massachusetts. Jim Kellogg gave the introductions to Halbe before his induction into the new Hall - and to Woody English (deceased). Carol English, Woody's daughter who was on the EE and Adventure staff in the late 70s, was on hand to accept the honor on behalf of her late dad and the family. Mary is a long-standing member of the Trustees, and part of the Tison family who collaborates with us on the Tison Estate at the end of the East Branch Neversink Road.
Above: Fred Wasiak and Bud Cox. Fred was our Conference Director for some years, then went to the Westfield Y, and in recent years has been the CEO of the well-loved South Jersey/Philadelphia-area camp, Ockanickon (and Matollionequay for girls). Bud of course is still at Frost Valley after all these years. He is only current member of the staff to have been there when Wawayanda moved to Frost Valley 50 years ago.
