Ray Kremer was the very first of the many, many, many Kremers to work at Frost Valley. We think that Marie Kremer (the matriarch of the clan) was the second to work here - as a cook, at first, then office manager. Others came along too, quickly: Charlie Jr., Margaret, Ann Marie, Charles Sr., Andy, and John (did I miss any?). I've written about the Kremers variously in this blog over the years, so search for "Kremer" in the searchbox at right or click the keyword/label below - for much more about them. Anyway, Ray is at left in the photo above. Along with Bob Eddings and me. Ray and Meg Kremer (Meg, Ray's wife, also worked at FV) joined Jerry and Patti and several dozen other neighbors and FV staffers at a belated July 4 party on the evening of July 10 - camp's decided-upon date for celebrating independence day with the annual "Small World" carnival (featuring booths on countries represented by our international counselors), an evening stage show, and fireworks shot over the lake.
It was great to see Ray, now 65 years old and long retired. He and Meg have built a cabin on the Kremer family property at the end of the Frost Valley road (country road 47) in Claryville.
