the Ketchams in 1958
Chester McLemore recalls: "In 1958, the first year at Frost Valley, Mike Ketcham was probably 14 or so. He was a Jr. Counselor and was assigned to my cabin. He was quite and involved with the staff in our village. We were in Cabin 10. Mike DeVita was the village chief and Mike's Brother, John, was a camper in my cabin. It was a great summer. Of all the campers that I had in the 3 years that I was at Wawayanda, I mostly remember the Ketchams, Mon, Dad, Mike and John. It's been so long since this happened that I do not remember specifics, but I do have good feelings when I think of Mike, John and the family. Their sense of family has always been with me."
