days off with internationals

From the summer of 1975 through the summer of 1980 (or so) I would, each summer, take a camp van (or a caravan of our own cars) and drive a bunch of internationals, and a few U.S. staffers, up to "the farm" - the farmhouse and 90-acre farm where, during my undergraduate days at Colgate, I rented digs, with friends, from the great Long Island schoolteacher-turned-farmer Ray Sobel and his wife Marcia.

In the summer of '79 or '80 (can't remember which) I took a group that included Jurgen Bobrowski, from Germany - a wonderful guy who, I think, was a counselor in Outpost. In the group photo, we have: Vicky from Australia, Paul Nelson (US - VC of Outpost), Odile from France, Rocky from Japan, Nina from Norway, Sassi from Tunesia, Pascale, Else (the blonde), and Paoul (yellow shirt) from Denmark. There's also John Ferris, USA, VC of Lenape. In the bottom picture, there's Paul Nelson (at left), walking next to farmer Roy Sobel, Rocky from Japan, and at right, Patti Sharp, from Stevens Point Wisc. who was that summer the VC of Sacky.
