Wow, I can’t believe that’s Wendy Hankin in picture No. 7 – unless Steve married a Wendy. Wendy was my counselor for two years, and she’s in one of the pictures I posted – Bunk 14 – in the back row on the right, with hair in the “in” flip.

I did not recognize her, either. I never thought of that possibility.

That IS Wndy Hankin only she is half the person she used to be thanks to the wonders of modern medicine and personal effort.

In Email correspondence with Fred Hartman and Ann Karr Grodin, I was reminded that Fred was the White Team Capitan in 1956. Also, that were it not for Fred, she and her brother Phil [my former bunkmate] would not have attended KLC. Their parents had been friends.

Fred:
Glad you found the site. How did you find it? The pictures you mention can be sent to Zig (as I did since I don’t have a scanner) and he posted them on his blog. He returned every one unscathed – try that or copy them at a Kinko’s and send the copies so we may all see them. I was there from 1955-1960 and tremember you as well. My brother and I (twins) enjoyed KLC to its fullest as did many of our relatives. Am looking forward to your collectiobn

Nice to see a picture of Cookie Rubin – very nice person. Kittatinny in the summers of ’63 and ’64 had a lot of people with comic book names: Billy Falik, Al Indicter, Jerry Pietsch, Johnny Yoakley and Dick Trout among them. Lee Herman was his own kind of cartoon character, with no Echo to match his Narcissus. I remember him wrestling Frank Kitei one day…it went on longer than Herman (Lieberfarb) was comfortable, given his 7 year age superiority – so, almost out of the story of Jacob, Herman grabbed Frank by the …ummmm…..loins (pelotas) until Frank submitted. We were all very grossed out and unimpressed with that level of inappropriate behavior and poor sportsmanship.
There were great basketball players from the Bernie Kirsner, Billy Cunningham, Erasmus and Frank McGuire connections.
Doberman was a class act….I remember him being very proud of his father’s stand up comedy act.
The stuff that went on at Kittatinny would make headlines today. Counselors piled out of the camp at dark to hang out a bar in Layton, NJ, where many invariably got drunk. They would then take their act back to the camp and decide which people to haze or harass. This was not fun, as no one was about to do anything about it. I remember well the visits I would get at around 1:00 a.m. from Steve Balaban, Mark Weisfeld and a couple of others. The routine was always the same….they would wake me up….surround me…..try to bully and intimidate…..and come back the next night to do the same thing. I learned there what to do with bullies. One night, I “accidentally” swung my elbow into Balaban’s face….Balaban (Hawk) kept repeating “that don’t make no never minds” as one of his buddies tried to say it was not on purpose. It seems they moved on to someone else after that night, but it was strange how the drunkenness and drunken behavior were so prevalent with the acquiescence of all the supposed leaders of the camp.
