The Golds of West Orange, NJ, were a mainstay in the 1970s and 1980s. Three sons - Adam, Michael and Steven - came to camp, mostly for all 8 weeks, each summer. I believe all three became CITS and JCs, and then Michael and Steven went on to become counselors. But I remember them most as campers. Smart, funny, dynamic, rascally and energetic.
Adam has married Andrea and they live in Westchester with two boys Aidyn and Ross who are 13 and 8. Adam works for a trade organization supporting Fortune 500 brands with their Mobile Marketing efforts, Mobile Marketing Association or MMA. Aidyn has been a camper at FV in recent years and this summer is in Adventure Village and doing Adventure Trips.
Michael and his wife Jen live in Brooklyn with their two boys Zach and Simon, who are 7 and 3. Michael is still entertaining us with his Ballooniac show and parties. Jen is a teacher and they are moving to Las Vegas.
Steven married Connie - and they live in Manhattan with their two boys Dylan and Tyler who are 3 and 1. Steven leads ad operations for a mobile marketing company called Opera Media Works and Connie works for a tiny little digital company called Google.
Barry and Linda, the parents who loved Frost Valley and sent their three sons to us throughout the 70s, are now retired and living in Delray Beach, Florida and loving the weather. According to Adam, they "spend their days debating with the other retirees in the clubhouse about everything."
