Comments: Warm greetings from Manhasset. Traffic has slowed on our site, but this woke me up recently...saw a terrific and very moving film, You Can Count On Me w/Laura Linney and Matthew Broderick. It was shot entirely in Margaretville (yes, THAT Margaretville!), NY, and I thought there would be a reference at some point to "how about those spoiled Tarigo kids who used to come through here back in the 60s." Alas, it was not to be, but it did revive memories of trying to convince the Cass Inn bartender that I was of age. Hope the holidays and 2001 are filled with health and prosperity, y'all. Howie

Comments: So, I'm sitting getting my nails done yesterday and start to talk to another girl (I still think I'm 18) across the naildrying table. She has young kids who are going to camp next summer. I start to tell her about our great reunion. Says her husband's amp had a reunion this summer. Asked where I went to camp. Said TA-RI-Go. She looked at me as if I were from outer space. Said her husband went there. Missed the reunion bcuz of company. I went home and looked on the list of boy campers. Sure enough. There was his name. Arthur Wolk. I didn't know him, was there after me. The purpose of this story is to talk about TA-RI-GO wherever you are and with whoever your with. You'll never know who you'll run into!!

Comments: I'm submitting this to correct my e-mail address. I also want you to know that I visited the Tarigo site a few times. The first time I was there, about 15 years ago, the social hall was still there, although in ruins. Inside you could still see some of th plaques that hadn't been removed because they were too high up. The last time I was there just about everything was gone...except the Tarigo sign. I took the letters "T" and "A" and still have them in my possession. Say "hi" to Bobby for me. I remember h m as a great athlete and a terrific kid.

Comments: If people want to pencil in the weekend of August 19-21, 2005 for a possible second reunion, that is fine with me. That is the 3rd weekend in August before kids go back to college and after the Pinsky's camp is finished. So plan your weddings and Bar M tzvah's accordingly. I will keep the website going, so people can keep in touch, but this time MANY others will have to take an active role in organizing, staffing and producing the event. So think over what, where and how you think this second reunion should take place. We have enough time to see if there will be enough people to swing another one. If not, there is always 2010! I will develop a way for people to sponsor the website each month to keep the funds flowing. I'll send out the information in the next emailing. Rick

Hope to make the next one. By the way.....I do remember those missing lines to the Camp Olympus song....."We lost some friends in Parksville, and now the camp is being condemned.

Comments: I don't think my body stopped shaking the entire time I was at the Nevele. it was probably one of the best days of my adult life- I think if I could live a Twilight Zone episode, where that day just kept repeating itself over & over again for the rest of y life, I would be a very happy woman. I truly believe that Camp TaRiGo put me on the road to becoming a good & decent person. It certainly helped develop my taste in music and the kind of people I like to surround myself with- and I have carried those t stes around for 25 years. I could basically wrap all of you up and move you down to Texas, and we would all be buddies and hang out together every week. It was overwhelmingly, incredible to see all of you again. It is amazing how after all this time the nly people I didn't recognize was Ellen Pinsky (I thought she was Ricky Saper's wife) and Steven Pinsky, because he had the nerve to grow up and become a man (maybe there's something in the Pinsky water). I am so thankful for all of my great memories, bu I am even more thankful that the Gods (one of them being Rick) had chosen us to reconnect and continue our friendships- hopefully well into our golden years. I would love to see as many of you again as possible, I would love to try and plan a weekend at a spa, hotel, brothel, whatever, or even down here in Texas, at least sooner than 2005. So, please keep in touch, write, call, email, anything, but do not lose contact with me again! Hey remember when the porch collapsed at Camp Olympus.... Bummers at camp olympus a place where bones break and porches collapse we lost some friends in ------??? and now the camp is being condemned bummers at camp olympuus ??????(can't remember the last line) anyway guys, once again thanks for all of the memories and everything you gave to me that kept me strong for 25 years!

Comments: My brother Mitchell told me about this website today. He said it would bring a smile to my face. It certainly did. It also brought a rush of some of my most cherished memories. Camp Tarigo was such an important part of my life. I spent nine years ther , and had so many incredibly experiences. I remember so many songs. The one about Uncle Bubby, Aunt Teddy, the entire girls sing when we were the beatniks, Color War songs it came flooding back. So many things I hadn't thought about for years. There we e people at camp that influenced my life so profoundly, and after reading through all the other messages I was glad to see many of their names. I have been married for 30 years. I have two daughters ages 25 and 22 and have lived in Miami, Florida since 982. I'm glad the reunion was so successful! Seeing all these pictures, and reading all these stories was truly a delight. Thank you for this special gift!

Comments: I still have not come down from the reunion "high". I keep getting flashbacks of camp and the reunion. One theme that keeps running around in my head is that I was so lucky to span different generations at camp and then re-live them again one weekend in August. I was able to hang with the people who I viewed as "cool"...who I looked up to as a young camper and wanted to be like when I grew up...Nardi Levine,Richie Sarkin, Chet, Larry, Barbara Levin and Cash...real class acts as counselors and the nicest eople now, even though they may be mass murderers. I spent time with bunkmates...Beaver, Brent, Mitch Brozinsky, Jeff Koval, Barry Schwartz, Monty, Screwie Lewie, Wayne, Howie Balin...great kids, and now look at them. I saw my former campers,Neil, Ricky, Scott, Mitchell, Jana, Andew,David and Steven and my cousins and seeing how they turned out, questioned my ability as a counselor. Then I got to spend time with my buddies and true loves: Pugs, Izzy, Larry, Lori Simon, Lori Edelstein, Geri,Marlene, Mindy Jane, Stats, Penny..who took great care of my daughter this summer at Westmont...and Ellen, ditto, Robin,and Judy, Bob and Bobbi..my god, what we did to ourselves in those days...... I loved seeing you all and think of you often. I can't wait until we do it again.

It was a privilege to spend time with old frie ds, make new ones, and rekindle some (temporarily) lost ones. Thank you again to Michael Lewis for the trip to Fleischmanns. I had no idea when I signed up that I'd be getting such a special and heartfelt "tour" of the old site. The weekend was great.. thank you all for being a part of it.

Comments: I just learned of this web site and am sorry I didn't know about it or the reunion. So many familiar names and photos! I was a Deb in 1960, and finished my Ta-ri-go years as a Senior in 1963. It was sad to read the list of those who have died, but, as unt Belle Wilder's niece I thought you might like to know that she is 92 and still living on her own in Lynchburg, VA near son Mal. When I visited her last year, we reminisced and sang the Alma Mater. She remembered the words better than I! Also, some f the Color War song lyrics printed on the web site were written by my brother, Bruce Sidelnik, a professional musician and entertainer for many years, and living in NJ. I too think of Camp often and as the happiest times of my childhood. Maddy Sidelni , Basking Ridge, NJ

As soon as I got home, I went immediately back to work, and spent Saturday Nite, and a l day Sunday getting a kid out of jail. So, I was needed somewhere else. I refuse to look at the cup as being half-empty, but, rather half full. On the way home, with my fiancee driving, I fell asleep. I had a dream. Debbie Percher was laughing and t lking to me on one side, Michael Lewis was talking in my other ear, and I was laughing as I sat around the table with all of you. That's when I realized how happy I was that at least I made it to part of the reunion, and didn't miss it altogether. The n xt time we all get together, I won't be new to my job, and I will get to have the entire time to spend with everyone. It was especially nice to See Debbie, Michael, Rick Landman,Bruce Howie,Jackie, Rhonda, Laurie, Richie Sarkin,Jack, and the Pinsky famil , and Stats. Mitch and Donna Say Hello, Steven. I loved seeing everyone. I won't say goodbye, but, until then. Love Monty Richard J Montanaro.

Comments: Rick- I'll always be greatful to you for bringing all of us together once again. You are a true gem. Hopefully the friendships we've rediscovered, will last until eternity. I know I had an incredibly uplifting experience this past weekend, surrounded by t e warmth, comfort and laughter of dear friends. I wanted to bottle it and take it home with me. Till the next one, regards to all. P.S.- To Ellen Schlissel: Liz and I want to thank you for finding the website and making it happen for many of us in "the gr up".

Comments: To all the wonderful friends,special times, and unforgetable memories: thank you.I have not shared a weekend like this in my entire adult life.The only trouble I am having is that it ended all too soon. The only thing I could wish for was for the whole we kend to have been part of the movie Groundhog Day (time just keeps repeating itself)I will have to remain content with the good times, shared memories and lots of laughter! Thank you Rick for making it all happen.

Comments: Dear Fellow Campers, My mitzvah worked and I too shared in the wonderful warm feelings and send everyone one great big "Your Welcome" for all your "Thank You"s. I got back the photos and will start scanning things tonight. I have started to re-work the website. I miss the anticipation, but I am glad that so many of you rekindled friendships and made new friends too. We all got a glimpse of feeling some of the good times of TARIGO. We were a very special group of people and the camp had its special moments. I will send everyone a detailed email later this week. I miss you all.

Comments: Wow - what a feeling! Rick - what can I say? Is thank you enough? Can it ever be? It was truly amazing - y'know, I had a dream this past weekend and about 250 Tarigo people were in it! How did that happen? I 'think' I saw Gail Youngerman (and Neil); Pinsky, Kittay (the 'fearsome foursome' returns), Janie and Steve (Janie, Jody sends h r regards and Ronni Kipnis was the third roommate in the dorm with she and you), Frey (there better be a tennis match next time! see you in the Windy City), Sue 'Sockamin' Sorkin (not on horseback!),Vecc, Ronnie, Bruce and Mark Pomerantz, Lori E., Larry a d David B., Milgrim, Izzy, Mindy D. (Jody says hi; I'll see you around the 'hood),Penny (nice jacks action!), all of the Silvers, Steven (thanks for the great softball game!), Ellen, Beverly, and of course, homage to Jack and Lenni always. Howie Bailen - you have a great sense of humor and Michael Lewis, Barb Levin, and Janis Herskovits - it was nice to put a face with a name. In this dream, we even played a terrific game of volleyball - thanks to everyone for your spirit and in some cases, for being a weekend athlete! Everyone still had that drive!("our team is red hot...") I had a very funny feeling driving home - not unlike that feeling I used to get on the bus headed southward from Fleischmanns at the end of August. It was wonderful seeing everyone and catching up, and just a little bittersweet having to say goodbye so uickly. This whole weekend was very surreal - did it even happen? Please convince me that it did by periodically staying in touch. I'll try. And hopefully Rick, you got to relive the joy of Camp Tarigo without the obligatory sports activities! Loved your monologue on Sat. nite - You really should get an agent and take it out on the road!

Comments: My years at Tarigo were among the greatest summers of my life. I really enjoyed being Camp Rabbi and Drama Coach. Drs. John Sherman and Danny Roses, who are two of America's most eminent physicians are very dear friends to this day. How many of you rememb r Aunt Evelyn? I was so sorry to hear about Ted Salzman's death. He and I were good friends for many years even after I stopped coming to Tarigo. A lot of my Columbia Classmates were also counselors at Tarigo including Eric Gruen who is one of the world's greatest authorities on Roman history and Donny Clarick who is a lawyer. I was first introduced to the camp by my cousin Stanley Bloch who sadly passed away almost 2 years ago. Best wishes on the reunion. I'm only sorry that my wife and I can't be there. 'd love to hear from my former "Broadway" stars.

Comments: I was hoping to come to the reunion- even for a day, but will be on vacation and can't re-schedule it. I do have some amazing pictures from camp and will send them over for the reunion "wall" of memories. My summers at Camp Tarigo were filled with such great memories - especially the years in the Senior Dorm. Ellen Pinsky, Lori Simon, Marcia Sippel, Barbara Dinowitz, Beth Horowitz, Susan Horowitz, Mindy Dorman (the BEST athlete), Joyce Gruber, Donna Lurie, Gay Schwimmer (and her great care packages from Grandma), April Sherman (what about "Metal"?) ....to name just a few. My brother Andy and cousins Glenn (of "Glen, Glen, Miller fame) and Glen ("Whitey") Seidman were also at camp. Every time I hear The Eagles, Neil Young or Carly Simon, I always think of Tarigo. I remember the Senior Trip to Montreal (Lori Simon...do you remember that we almost didn't go on the trip because Jack caught us on boys camp one night?), our year as wait esses (the dining room was never the same after that), Woodstock, Stephen Stills in concert, tennis tournaments with Timberlake and Oquago, Color War alma maters that I can still sing line by line, "Stevie" Gordon, Sandy & Elliot Penn, Morty Kotkin on the waterfront in his black socks, "inch-me, pinchme", the rain song that we used to do with our shoes? , "Grease", "West Side Story", .....and on and on and on. My 10-year old daughter Sam just came home from camp last night, and she talks about her camp experience with the same feelings....songs from Sing, Color War, trips, carnival, plays, great friends..... Will be thinking about everyone the weekend of the 25th - can't wait to see the pictures up on the site.

Comments: I'm up at TARIGO always. A friend owns a house on the property he has lots of old pics. & my folks have a house not far away.

Comments: Hi everyone, I have a suggestion. Since most peo- ple tell me they only have photos of the people in their bunk and not the opposite sex they hung out with or campgrounds, take some photos to a copy center and they can make copies. Black and white ones are really inexpensive. It will be real nice to be able to have "before" pictures to go with the ones we all take at the reunion. I've already done it. I just hope I remember to bring them!

Bob Helfant - 08/13/00 15:39:33

Comments: Does anyone remember the great BLTs from the luncheonette in town? My bunk was asked never to return to camp after the "blowing up the toilet" incident, so my second summer was my last summer there. Did anyone ever tell the owners that it was the counse ors, not the campers who were responsible? Last memory jog for my bunk - the riflery instructor coming in drunk one night waving his pistol around telling anyone who was still awake "not to move". Who else remembers Sgt. Pepper's one day on the loudspea ers instead of the usual camp calls? The canoe trip was one of my favorite experiences.

Comments: Never thought I'd be communicating with any of you folks again... My cousin Carol Minkin (who I'd also not seen for twenty someodd years until last summer) sent me an E-mail the other day telling me to check out TARIGO.com. It flat-out blew my mind. I spe t quite a bit of time looking around and reliving memories. I must admit I had some impure thoughts about some of the senior girls. Rick: I have no memory of you whatsoever, but thanks for taking the time to create and maintain this site. First memory tha came to mind was showing up for camp in mid-summer '75 due to a family vacation and finding that the joint had been taken over by "Impalas". I thought an Impala was an animal that lived in Africa. I remember on my first morning at TARIGO that summer, I h d to suffer through an interogation by Stu (Allen?)... and I remember thinking "this guy has some nerve!". Imagine HIM interogating ME like I'm the newcomer and he's the veteran. I also remember smoking some oregano-like substance with Jay Eagleberg and h m freaking out when I threw half of it away. I thought it was like smoking a cigarette... when it burned your fingers it was time to get rid of it. I would like to come to the reunion and would seriously consider doing so if I'd had more notice. I've alre dy taken three road trips this summer and can't get away again. Living in southeastern Virginia since '85. Married plus four. Life is good here... I'm up for parole in a few weeks. Does any one remember a guy named Dave Ouellette? He's from Worchester, Ma s. and was in camp one summer (75?), refered by Rich Goldsmith. The funny thing about it is I have no memory of him from camp at all, but I've been working with the guy, on and off, since '82. A couple of years ago, we were hanging around shooting the XXX and we discovered we were at TARIGO at the same time and neither one of us had any recollection of the other. I have '75 lodge and '76 senior boys pictures in good shape. I will send to Rick once I have 'em digitized. Did Sperling ever catch on as a stan -up comedian?... I'd pay to see that act. Regards to all, Dave.

Comments: Now that the reunion is upon us, I wrote a tribute to my friends from camp 1969-1973. This I hope will get you in the spirit.(to the tune of livin la vida loca) Michael Lewis is..livin la vida loca. Inside/Outside, Hey, livin la vida loca. He called m by my name..his discription, of me was insane..inside/outside, hey. Next-Ahy aye yhy yhy..At Tarigo we ate too much tuna fish, and today's food was just as bad as the other days food, but we all drank at the cat's meow. And remember the constant playing on the PA, Stewie Levine's "chicken fat" For good food, every morning, we cried...for good food, now and then. Right on through the years, kidsatpinksy's camp in tears, but we kept coming again. (and the last tribute, to no music, or made up themes. D d anyone read Neal's greeting for everyone to have a great reunion. Well, from every one of his campers in the senior boys lodge, we would have loved to read a greeting saying, have a great reunion, I'm sending you my girlfriend from 1969, Liz Elman. se you all folks, and as always, just in fun. Monty.. Richard J Montanaro. I hope this comes out well, and everyone who understands it, get a laugh.

Comments: Remember Apache Relays during Color War? Pounding brooms on the dining room floor and yelling "sweep, sweep, sweep" also during Color War if your team had won it all on a particular day? Howie, it was a very dark walk back to camp on movie night--rememb r taking a sip of cold water from the runoff over the rocks as we walked back (or to town)? Ok, enough wandering of the mind--must get back to work. And, Judy Bancroft, I do remember you. Hope to see everyone at the Nevele.

Comments: Surprised I haven't seen (maybe someone did mention) a discussion about our walks back to camp after going into town for a movie. You do remember! Total darkness. Winding road. Strange noises from the woods. Cars screaming by. Sort of early Survivor training. And a good time to get to know your girlfriend. I'll stop now.

Comments: Rick. Thanks for putting this together. I visited Ta-Ri-Go in the late 80s before the Social Hall burned down. All the plaques were up on the walls. The Samuarai and the Cossacks ('63, I think). I seem to remember Bonnie & Jay as the generals for the Cossacks? Neg Nort Nud! I read somebody's message that mentioned, "The Hills of Health". What a catchy phrase-I totally forgot about it. I didn't see Steve Zaretsky's name on the list of campers. I think he is living in New Canaan, CT. I will try to ontact him. I am living in NYC with my wife and 15 year old son. I just went to his visiting day. Regards to all.

One of these days when I move and go through some things in storage,I will take a picture for u of the mosiac tile plaque that hung in the social hall of the 1960 color war between the Vikings and the Romans. One weekend I went up with my wife Carol and somehow the plaque ended up in my car. Believe it or not. I still have it tucked away. ANYWAY, HAVE A GREAT REUNION

Gary Forman - 08/01/00 23:54:11 My Email:GForman@aol.com Years at Camp (ie. 67-72): 70-74 Are you coming to the Reunion?: Don't know

Comments: Wow, what a blast from the past. One Tarigo memory: I was head of Neg Nord Nud in 74...we didn't do much, but we did hold a banquet at the end of the year. Part of our fundraising was the famous "guess how many rocks are in the jar and win 5 bucks" contes , one guess for a quarter, 5 guesses for a dollar. Well, I was approached by a former NNN officer (who will for the time being remain nameless, although I'm hoping he'll step forward on his own) who proposed that I tell him the proper amount, that he subm t that guess, and that we wouldn't have to pay him the 5 dollars. The plan worked, although I imagine anyone above the age of 15 probably suspected some corruption... One more memory...I wrote a few parodies for the senior sing in 74. One of them was "Money Can't Run a Camp" to the tune of the Beatles "Money Can't Buy You Love" Here's a verse: The food up here is really bad It's sticky and it's smelly The whole camp is surviving on Peanut butter and jelly I remember being sent to Jerry Pinsky before the sing, who went through the song with me line by line, trying to censor the more objectionable stuff. I'll never forget, he said "the food may be sticky, but it's not smelly." Of course, I had to fight for " melly" since that was my rhyme with jelly. Smelly stayed. (chorus--can't buy me love) The food is rotten That much we all know But fix those toilets Everyone's gotta go The fields are in the worst of shape The grass all looks like hay But somehow all that changes when it's time for visiting day... Anyway, I've got a 3 month old son, so it might be tough to get to the Nevele, and I don't see that many folks from my era planning to come, but I really enjoyed seeing the site and reliving the memories.

Barry Schwartz - 07/30/00 20:51:09 Years at Camp (ie. 67-72): 67-69 Are you coming to the Reunion?: Yes Did you make your Nevele Reservations?: Day Camper Saturday

Comments: After reviewing the entire Camp Tarigo web site,I feel I must make the trek to the Nevele even if it is just for one day. After searching through my memory banks I've come up with a few goodies. One thing I always felt about our camp was that we knew how to have a great time. One song missing from the list was a parody of ourselves. Build up your ego, play Camp Tarigo, we are the Mets of Fleischmanns NY. Build up your ego play Camp Tarigo, the only time we get on base is when we get a walk. Hey! I wrote to Howie Bailen about the Takanassee Hotel. Now I'm starting to wonder if ther was more truth to the Howie Bailen amnesia scam of the summer of 69. I remember getting beat 56-2 in 1967 in an intercamp basketball game. The opposing teams guards were taller than our center (Richard Press). Howie scored the 2 points and the rest of us were the 2nd highest scorers with 0. But we still beat them in softball. I have been to Fleischmanns NY many times over the past 20 years. Ironically, my in-laws have lived there full time during that period. It seems the place has been frozen in time exceept for the homes that occupy our former camp grounds. My butt still hurts from getting hit with "the broom," by Richie Sarkin and Bob Turetsky. Bobby Hirsh and I were hit with that punishment for both getting into Nachum's underwear at the same time with room to spare. Richard Montanaro & I got in serious trouble for walking out of camp when everyone else was on a camp trip to Canada. In todays environment we would have been kicked out of camp. In 1968 the senior lodge deceided to do a scientific experiment to see if an ash can had a waterproof fuse; so we lit it and through it into one of toilets. None of our parents were thrilled when they got the bill to replace that toilet. I believe we we e also billed for burning up all the excess cubbies in the Senior Lodge fireplace. The Tarigo Death March of the summer of 1969. Truly a classic. The camp brass finally got us back. There is more, but I will save that for the reunion. See you all there!

Bruce Lowitt - 07/30/00 05:17:08 My Email:veeble@hotmail.com Years at Camp (ie. 67-72): 1951-58 or '59 & 1963 Are you coming to the Reunion?: Working on it. Did you make your Nevele Reservations?: Not yet.

Comments: Anyone (male campers only) remember what a "shtarker" was? Anyone ever give or get one? Anyone willing to admit it? In 1963 I was a counselor (Seminole, I think), along with Billy Buckner. I can remember two campers -- Abby Hoffman and David Wadro. (David was a big kid; he ended up being our enforcer.) I also was drama counselor that year. In 1983, while en route to upstate New York on a family vacation, I started reminiscing about Tarigo (or Ta-Ri-Go, as I remember it)and, on a whim, detoured to the camp. It was abandoned, buried in tall grass, the main house falling in on itself and so o . It was depressing and yet exhilarating the way it opened the memory bank. In '52, when MAD Comics were born, I buried myself in them during rest period, at night under the blanket with the flashlight (memory alert: does anyone remember tissue-bomb fights?), and talked incessantly about MAD, to the point that some guys started alling me Melvin Cosnowski, the predecessor to Alfred E. Neuman. The problem was they'd yell "Hey, Melvin!" and Melvins would turn around. So they started calling me "Veeblefetzer," MAD's all-purpose word. That quickly got shortened to "Veeble." It's been my nickname ever since, in school, college, the Army, etc. Donnie Fine's parents and mine were close friends and we considered each other cousins and hung together a lot at camp and the rest of the year (although I lived in Brooklyn and he in Rockville Center). We still keep in contact, to a degree. Anyone remember this?: boys would congregate on the grassy slope just outside the main house (the bunks at the top were for the waiters before the camp went coed), one behind another, the one in front would take eight or ten deep breaths and hold the las one, and at that moment the one behind him would hold him tight around the chest. That would knock out the one in front, or make him so woozy he'd stagger around for a few minutes. We probably were giving each other mini-strokes or something, but who kne ? I'd like to take this moment to thank Alan Berkley for breaking my nose when he lost his grip on the broom-handle bat when we and our fathers were playing stickball on the squash court. (Ahh, memories.) The doctor (if he actually had a license) in Margar tville set it off-center; it's been pointing a degree or two to the left ever since. Anyone know the whereabout of Buddy Wechsler (I'm not sure of the spelling)? He was a counselor and played piano for songfests, kids in talent shows and so on. He encouraged me, persuaded me, gave me the courage, to sing on stage. I wound up in just abou every camp show (South Pacific, Oklahoma, Finian's Rainbow and so on, and I can still sing "tempus fugit" from The Pajama Game without missing a beat). In 1956 or '57, Arthur Lord and I won two talent shows (the regular one and the "final,") by lip-synching Stan Freberg's "The Great Pretender." The following two years, Bruce Sidelnik and I became Ta-Ri-Go's version of the Everly Brothers and won some mo e talent shows. In one of the Color Wars, we were both Cowboys and the counselors decided we gave our team too much of an edge in the songfest, so only one of us could sing. Sidelnik won the coin toss, he sang, and I sat behind the curtain making clip-clo hoofbeats into the microphone when we sang our anthem. Anyone know whatever happened to Zoink (Mike Altman)? Or, for that matter, Uncle Mike Buckley? I was short, fat and Jewish (well, okay, I'm still two out of three) and couldn't play sports worth a damn -- rightfielder in softball until a lefty batted, then I moved to left. Or short-centerfielder when we had ten on a side. Then our catcher (Bobby B ck? Billy Bock? Boch?) got sick and I would up behind the plate. Mike Dean was always pitching, it seemed. He, Howie Rabinowitz and Ira Povill were the hotshots in our group. (And while I'm at it, anyone remember Mouse (Mike Holzer)? Or John Rothkopf? Or ernie Iser? Or Sylvia Finker? And while I'm at it, anyone still reading this ego-driven drivel? No wonder my family nodded off before we were halfway down the hill to town.

Comments: Tarigo trivia buffs...the abandoned hotel way back in the woods whose name I couldn't remember was, in fact, the Takanassee. Michael Lewis, Robin Mandelker, and Barry Schwartz, in that order, overcame their Tri-Decade Memory Ailment (TDMA) and ID'd the p ace. Good work! Now if I could just recall that song Cindy Wadro and Carl Kaplan sang on Parent's Weekend... it was from the show we did in '69 (I think). Or was it in '67? This is getting as spooky as the Takanassee.

Those summers made for a lifetime of memories. I still keep i touch with Maddie Korman Cohen. I am living in Aspen Colorado with my husband of 35 years. We have 3 grown children and a 4 month old granddaughter!! The reunion sounds great, but I will not be able to attend. Hope you all have a ball. My husband an I used to go to a bed and breakfast in Phoenicia and went to visit the camp one weekend. The place was overgrown and broken down, but we drove up to the rec hall and strangely enough found colorwar placques on the steps as if they were waiting for me! ne was from my era and one from my cousin Janie Halper's. We took them home for posterity. Hope to hear from my campers!!!

Comments: My son told me that someone had called about a Tarigo reunion and the website. I couldn't believe it. So many memories, all of them good. Without question the best summers of my life. Me, Mitchell Friedman, Peter Feldman, Budabin!, Steven Greenberg, Mi e Ipp, Alan Brickman (it would be great to hear from any of you guys). The best counselors -- Uncle Bubby (I was the one who found the bone in Bubby's pants), Stan Wilk (I had such a crush on Ronni Wenger), Mike Dean, Larry Liner, Jerry Korn, and many mo e. Color War was like a Hollywood production. The Rock n' Roll lip synching shows. The broadway shows (remember West Side Story complete with choreography and the ramp that went up to the stage)and the talent contests. The panty raids on the girls' bu ks -- including that big one we pulled off in the middle of the night(was it Mike Dean who organized that?). The snipe hunts and Cropsy Maniac. Kissing Eva Pearl. We will definitely try to make the reunion.

Comments: So many familiar names, so many good memories. Amazing what an impact those years seem to have had on all of us. I feel very lucky to have been part of it, especially because my brother Mitch and I share so many of those memories. We talk about TaRiGo all the time; Mitch making everyone laugh as always telling stories about Screwy Louie (sorry Michael), midnite raids on boys campus, and color war victory and defeat. Titans Gonna Rise Again!!!! I don't know if I'll make it to the reunion but it's really nice to know you're all out there.
