just spent a wonderful day with mike holzer remembering 50+ years ago, and catching up to date.

our one disagrement was on the cost of camp in 1947. i said $500...mike guessed much lower.

can someone with a mind that still works
tell us who was correct.

Sad news. Donny Fine passed away in May. He was at Tarigo from approx 1950-1960 and was a terrific guy. He will be missed. For more info you can call me at 917-861-4208. Mike Holzer

This is a test. People have been complaining that the system is down again.

1963 Kaydets, second row, leaning forward.

On March 15, 2010, during that terrible storm, a tree fell down and killed Larry Krause (50) while he was leaving his synagogue in Teaneck. Larry was a former TARIGOite. Our sympathies to his family and friends. He was also an attorney who worked in Manhattan. He had a wife and six children.

Joel, all is forgiven.

I worked at Ta-Ri-Go in the summer of 1969. I was the counselor in the waiters' bunk as well as a camp driver. I took the job, because my girlfriend and her mother - both artists - were living in Woodstock and I wanted to be up there too.

In early August I was called to Manhattan for my draft physical, and when I was declared 4F I was so excited I never came back to camp, heading to the Woodstock Festival instead, which kind of pissed off the owners, whose names I forget.

So I apologize to them now. I wish I could remember some of the waiters and campers I knew that summer, but I basically only remember a counselor named Marcella. She was beautiful!

nice site keep it up ok

It was great seeing all those old pictures. I had many wonderful years at camp.

This is to inform those who do not know that Craig "Hoodie" Mendel who attended Tarigo in the 70's has passed away. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Please add me to campers that attended.

Thanks,

Richard Coleman

As you can see, I've upgraded the look of our Website. We just passed over 12,300 hits from mostly former campers. So I guess people are still enjoying the site and it is helping old friends find each other. The program also removes @ and . from your email address so that spammers cannot use programs to gather them for spamming. If you have any other ideas about the site, please let me know.

I remember on the hikes back up the hill from town, the old camp truck would come along and we would all climb on. We probably could have walked faster then the truck went, but it was great at the time.

IN MY SENIOR YEAR I WAS COLOR WAR CAPTAIN AND GOT SICK AND MISSED THE TRIP TO COOPERSTOWN.
I GOT OVER IT AND MOVED ON.

A late August visit to Fleischmanns - my first in many years - brought back boatloads of sweet memories. Another summer almost over, but I'll remember you guys forever!

I spent one, maybe two years at TA RI GO. I was reminded of it yesterday, when I saw the lyrics to "Hiking on the Highway", which I think was a song from TA RI GO.

I don't remember anybody, but I remember the cabins.

once again labor day weekend will be up on the land just before ta ri go camping we get 60 to 80 people running around stop by if your there sorry no milkbar just hotdogs

Happy 40th Anniversary. Was watching programs on Woodstock this weekend. It brought back memories of our 1969 senior boys group, "The Whiz Kids." What a great summer. Monty

Great memories. One years as a waiter and one as a counselor. I remember the walks up the hill after movie night in town. Tarigo's also where I got introduced to the Doors.(hearing "The End" at age 17 was a trip). Would appreciate hearing from anyone else around in those years.

for tarigoites of a certain age....

just saw the GOLDBERG movie...was not aware that GERTRUDE BERG was born in FLEISCHMANNS, and is buried there.
