In My Garage

Posted by Elliott Portman on February 24, 2009 at 5:38am

I'm not making promises but I'm pretty sure that in my garage, are full camp pix from 69-75.I didn't have the heart to throw them out.After the camp closed, we visited my sister at Che-Na-Wah and I walked down to Balfour.I, er, may have taken a few mementos of the trip.Like a few bunk plaques maybe?Probably with the pictures in the garage...

The garage has proven to be vast and, at times, dangerous to explore. One day I'll get to the back!

Say, Elliot, did you get any bunk plaques that I made? One was a painting of Jimi Hendrix, Bunk 8, "Eighth Experience". The other was a painting from the New Riders album, Panama Red.

This entire site has just about put me into a hospital. I am reading names I have not heard from in nearly 40 years! Hope things are well with you.

I found some and moved them indoors.
Will try to take a digital picture of them soon.

Todd: I'm hungry. Mom never could cook like Otto.

I have found the camp pix from 71,72,&73. Bruce Cohen will confirm that in each picture, various kids in the front row are flashing the "bird"! I will have them posted on this site over the weekend. Neal Freiman

I believe Phyllis can confirm that Elliott holds the distinguished honor to be the only camper in Balfour history to never order a substitute meal to replace the current meal being served. Good to hear you're doing well!

If you can scan those jumbo pix and post them here it would be great.
